Τρία (Tria) in Greek means 'Three'. Λόγος(Logos) means speech, rational thinking and...story. In ancient Greece, during theatre competitions, the playwrights could present a comedy. a tragedy, a satyrical drama or a tragedy split in three parts (there's is actually a number of combinations they could present from all the above but that's for another episode). The only complete three-part tragedy saved to this day is The Oresteia and I highly recommend you read it or watch it at some point. Now, those Tragedies were called a ΤΡΙΛΟΓΙΑ/TRILOGY
