Tricolon
A tricolon , (neuter: the T.) ( Greek τρι - tri- "three" and κῶλον kolon "limb", plural: the tricolor) or a figure of three is a set of sentences composed of three kola or in other words a three-part sentence, for example “I came, I saw, I won”, in Latin “ Veni, vidi, vici ”.
The three parts of the same length or of the same structure can be parallel or chiastically to each other and form a semantic unit.
Corresponding two or four-part units are called dicolons and tetracolons. A multi-part structure of this type is generally expressed as an isocolon , but this term is rarely used outside of Classical Greek.
In metric , a tricolon is a stanza made up of three metrically unequal verses .
