  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Trilogy  \Tril"o*gy\,  n.  [Gr.  trilogi`a;  pref.  tri-  (see  {Tri-}) 
  +  lo`gos  speech,  discourse:  cf  F.  trilogie.] 
  A  series  of  three  dramas  which  although  each  of  them  is  in 
  one  sense  complete,  have  a  close  mutual  relation,  and  form 
  one  historical  and  poetical  picture.  Shakespeare's  ``  Henry 
  VI.''  is  an  example. 
 
  On  the  Greek  stage,  a  drama,  or  acted  story,  consisted 
  in  reality  of  three  dramas,  called  together  a  trilogy, 
  and  performed  consecutively  in  the  course  of  one  day 
  --Coleridge.

  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  Trilogy 
 
    A  {strongly  typed}  {logic  programming}  language 
  with  numerical  {constraint}-solving  over  the  {natural 
  numbers},  developed  by  Paul  Voda   
  at  {UBC}  in  1988.  Trilogy  is  syntactically  a  blend  of 
  {Prolog},  {Lisp},  and  {Pascal}.  It  contains  three  types  of 
  {clauses}:  {predicates}  ({backtracking}  but  no  assignable 
  variables),  procedures  (if-then-else  but  no  backtracking; 
  assignable  variables),  and  {subroutines}  (like  procedures,  but 
  with  input  and  {system  calls};  callable  only  from  top  level  or 
  from  other  subroutines). 
 
  Development  of  Trilogy  I  stopped  in  1991.  Trilogy  II 
  developed  by  Paul  Voda  1988-92,  was  a  {declarative}  general 
  purpose  programming  language,  used  for  teaching  and  to  write 
  {CL}.
