Re: How to recognize hendiadys?

<x-flowed>Let me throw another candidate hendiasys into the pot here, since I'm
puzzling over this right now. One commentary suggests that in Genesis 2:16,
"the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" is a hendiasys. Is this
likely? I do not know Hebrew. In the LXX, the phrase is:

Gen 2:16 ... APO DE TOU XULOU TOU GINWSKEIN KALON KAI PONHRON OU FAGESQE AP
AUTOU

Could this be a hendiasys where KALON KAI PONHRON means something like
"pleasurable evil" or "attractive evil"?
