Trivium

The trivium is the lower division of the seven liberal arts and comprises grammar, logic, and rhetoric.

The trivium is implicit in De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii ("On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury") by Martianus Capella, but the term was not used until the Carolingian Renaissance, when it was coined in imitation of the earlier quadrivium. Grammar, logic, and rhetoric were essential to a classical education, as explained in Plato's dialogues. The three subjects together were denoted by the word trivium during the Middle Ages, but the tradition of first learning those three subjects was established in ancient Greece. Contemporary iterations have taken various forms, including those found in certain British and American universities (some being part of the Classical education movement) and at the independent Oundle School in the United Kingdom.

Examples of use of trivium

2. On the metal front, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine." Helen Marquis Music buyer: Amazon.co.uk The UK‘s best–known online retailer is surprisingly blunt about why artists make their website‘s front page: "The labels pay for them to be there," says Helen Marquis.
3. "A genre like metal is banned from televison and radio, but when we broadcast a show for someone like Nightwish or Trivium it goes crazy." In a fragmented long–tail market, where niches are as important as hits and choice is infinite, this is the trump card for the web – barometers of "success" have been turned on their head and the concept of a "Top 40" representing the tastes of the masses is redundant.
