I have some numbers given for the reigns of most of them, but I don't know if they're accurate. This page can also list Agrianian kings such as Langarus, and Laeaean kings, if any are known by name.
Pyraichmes, who Homer in the Iliad mentions as a leader of the Paionians in the Trojan war, probably can't be listed, because I don't think anybody knows whether he was officially a king.
Here is the quote from the Iliad, book II, line 800-something:"Those more distant archers, Paiones, Pyraichmes led from Amydon, from Axios bemirroring all the plain." Paionia was quite an ancient Balkan state, as it was probably already a state back in the times of the Trojan war. Alexander 007 08:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
