Answer:

When a narration starts in the middle of the plot instead introducing the context and characters in a logical way it's named with a "Latin" expression: "In medias res", which basically means "towards the middle of things" or "in the middle of affairs", and that is the technique used by Homer in Book 9 of the Odyssey, because starts 10 years after the collapse of Troy when Odysseus arrives to the Cyclops' Island, and he uses flashbacks later on to give context to the reader.

In medias res because the story begins partway through the adventure.
