Repetitive epic
The repetitive epic was a genre of Cardassian literature characterized by a repetition of  elements and themes. The Never Ending Sacrifice was generally regarded as the genre's greatest example, as a novel depicting seven generations of the same family, all of whom selflessly dedicate their lives to serving the Cardassian state. 

Elim Garak saw the repetitive epic as the most elegant form of Cardassian writing. ()
