Farewell speech
A farewell speech or farewell address is a speech given by an individual leaving a position or place.They are often used by public figures such as politicians as a capstone to the preceding career, or as statements delivered by persons relating to reasons for their leaving.The term is often used as a euphemism for "retirement speech," though it is broader in that it may include geographical or even biological conclusion.In the Classics, a term for a dignified and poetic farewell speech is apobaterion (ἀποβατήριον), standing opposed to the epibaterion, the corresponding speech made upon arrival.This article about a political term is a stub.
