The word "encomium" (pronounced en-co'-mi-um, from the Greek)generally means the praise of a person or thing. While keeping this general meaning, "encomium" also names several distinct aspects of rhetoric: 1. A general category of oratory (nearly synonymous with "epideictic"), 2. A method within rhetorical pedagogy (one of the "progymnasmata": Encomium), 3. A figure of speech. As a figure, "encomium" means praising a person or thing, but occuring on a smaller scale than an entire speech.

Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin is a tribute album by various artists dedicated to Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records on March 14, 1995. See 1995 in music
