A farewell speech or a farewell speech is a speech given by an individual who leaves a position or place. They are often used by public figures such as politicians as a preceding career, or as statements made by people related to reasons for their departure. The term is often used as a euphemism for "retirement speech", although it is broader in that it may include geographic or even biological conclusion. In the classics, a term for a dignified and poetic farewell speech is apobaterion , standing opposite the epibaterion, the corresponding speech made on arrival.
