Nicanor of Stageira
Nicanor (Macedonia, was despatched by Alexander the Great to proclaim at the Olympic Games of 324 BCE the decree for the recall of the exiles throughout the Greek cities.[1]

son of Parmenion; he may, however, be identical with the Nicanor who was satrap of Media under Antigonus
.
