Hendiatris (from the (ギリシア語:ἓν διὰ τριῶν), ''hèn dià triôn'', "one through three") is a figure of speech used for emphasis, in which three words are used to express one idea.〔Gregory T. Howard, ''Dictionary of Rhetorical Terms'', p. 115〕 For example, the phrase ''sex, drugs and rock'n'roll'' as used to capture the life of a rock star is of this form. If the units involved are not single words, and if they are not in any way synonyms but rather ''circumnavigate'' the one idea expressed, the figure may be described more correctly, precisely, and succinctly as a triad. A tripartite motto is the conventional English term for a motto, a slogan, or an advertising phrase in the form of a hendiatris. Perhaps equally well known throughout the world are Julius Caesar's ''Veni, vidi, vici'' (an example of a tricolon) and the motto of the French Republic: ''Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité''; the phrase ''Peace, Order and Good Government'' is used as a guiding principle in the parliaments of the Commonwealth of Nations. ==In the ancient and classical world== In rhetorical teaching, such triple iterations marked the classic rhythm of Ciceronian style, typified by the triple rhetorical questions of his first Oration Against Catiline: :''Quo usque tandem abutere, Catilina, patientia nostra? quamdiu etiam furor iste tuus nos eludet? quem ad finem sese effrenata jactabit audacia?'' :Until when will you abuse our patience, Catiline? For how long will that madness of yours mock us? To what end will your unbridled boldness toss itself about? In ancient Greece and Rome, such abstractions as liberty and justice were theologized. Hence the earliest tripartite mottoes are lists of the names of goddesses: ''Eunomia'', ''Dike'', and ''Eirene''. These late Greek goddesses, respectively ''Good Order, Justice, and Peace'' were collectively referred to by the Romans as the ''Horae''. The Romans had ''Concordia'', ''Salus'', and ''Pax'', collectively called the ''Fortunae''. The names of these mean ''Harmony, Health, and Peace''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hendiatris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
