The authors construct operads associated to the chain modules of simplexes and of Stasheff polytopes. The corresponding algebras have three operations; they are called associative trialgebras and dendriform trialgebras. The authors show that the two operads are acyclic and are Koszul dual to one another. They also show that the similar operad associated to cubes is acyclic and self-dual.
