Plato's Politeia (the work we call The Republic thanks to Cicero's Latin mistranslation) describes the soul as having three parts: reason ( logistikon), spirit ( thumos), and appetite ( epithumia).

In 1977, Star Trek was gearing up for a comeback. After being canceled in 1969 and enjoying a brief return as an animated series in 1973, the beloved sci-fi series was finally coming back to live action.
