Hexalogy
A hexalogy (from Greek ἑξα- ''hexa-'', "six" and -λογία ''-logia'', "discourse") is a compound literary or narrative work that is made up of six distinct works. The word apparently first appeared in English as a borrowing from German, in discussions of August Bungert's Wagnerian opera cycle entitled ''Homerische Welt'' based on the Iliad and the Odyssey.〔William Foster Apthorp. ''The opera, past and present: an historical sketch.'' Scribner, 1901. Page 204.
Arthur Elson. ''Modern Composers of Europe.'' L.C. Page and Company, 1904. Page 76.〕 (He planned two tetralogies, but the third and fourth operas of the eight were never written.) Both ''pentalogie'' and ''hexalogie'' were used by Théophile Gautier in 1859.〔Théophile Gautier. ''Histoire de l'art dramatique en France depuis vingt-cinq ans, Volume 5.'' Magnin, Blanchard et compagnie, 1859. Page 220.〕 In 1923 the word was applied by an American reviewer to Johannes V. Jensen's ''The Long Journey''.〔''The Bookman: a review of books and life.'' Dodd, Mead and Company, 1923. Volume 57, page 209.〕
