Areopagus Volume XXXVIII⁠↗
Highlights
Polyptoton
The use of words from the same root, e.g. destroy, destroyer, destructive. It usually ends up being alliterative, too.
Scesis (or schesis) onomaton
Using sentences composed wholly of nouns and adjectives, without verbs.
Asyndeton
The omission of conjunctions such as and, or, and but. The most famous example is how we translate Julius Caesar’s Veni, Vidi, Vici: “I came, I saw, I conquered” rather than “I came, and I saw, and I conquered.”
