Harmonic Homology

A Perspective Collineation with center $O$ and axis $o$ not incident is called a Homology. A Homology is said to be harmonic if the points $A$ and $A'$ on a line through $O$ are harmonic conjugates with respect to $O$ and $o\cdot a$. Every Perspective Collineation of period two is a harmonic homology.
