    Largiloquent: Bombastic.
    Dithyramb: Ancient Greek improvised hymn about Dionysus.

    You were almost coherent there, but not quite.

      Dithyramb

      A wildly enthusiastic speech or piece of writing

        As a Greek, yes this is the modern usage of the word.

        Funnily enough if that just translates to bombastic, enthusiastic speech it’s slightly redundant and not as descriptive of his speeches as it could be for being such flowery wording.
