tetralogy
Four connected works
A tetralogy is a series of four related works—novels, plays, operas, or films.
The term comes from ancient Greek drama, where tragedians presented three tragedies plus a satyr play.
Wagner's *Ring* cycle is a tetralogy.
In medicine, tetralogy of Fallot is a combination of four heart defects present from birth.
