Through as a preposition
When using the word "through" as a preposition, should there be a comma in some specific cases?
Obviously, in the case of "He looked through the window", there should not be a comma.
But if it was "He explained it through pathos, logos, and ethos", should there be a comma before the through?
Or is that a stylistic choice?
