2. Medias res refers to a narrative that starts in the middle of events.

The Odyssey does not start with the fall of Troy, Instead it began in the middle of events with Odysseus's wanderings and how he was held captive on the island of Ogygiya by the nymph Calypso where he was for a period of seven years.

Through flashbacks it became obvious that there were other events that happened earlier.
