520    Ekphrasis is familiar as a rhetorical tool for inducing 
       enargeia, the vivid sense that a reader or listener is 
       actually in the presence of the objects described. This 
       book focuses on the ekphrastic techniques used in ancient 
       Greek and Roman literature to describe technological 
       artifacts. Since the literary discourse on technology 
       extended beyond technical texts, this book explores 
       'technical ekphrasis' in a wide range of genres, including
       history, poetry, and philosophy as well as mechanical, 
       scientific, and mathematical works. Technical authors like
       Philo of Byzantium, Vitruvius, Hero of Alexandria, and 
       Claudius Ptolemy are put into dialogue with close 
       contemporaries in other genres, like Diodorus Siculus, 
       Cicero, Ovid, and Aelius Theon. The treatment of 
       'technical ekphrasis' here covers the techniques of 
       description, the interaction of verbal and visual elements,
       the role of instructions, and the balance between 
       describing the artifact's material qualities and the other
       bodies of knowledge it evokes.
