"In medias res" is a storytelling technique where a narrative begins in the middle of the action rather than starting at the beginning. Examples of ancient Greek literature that use this technique include the "Odyssey" by Homer, which opens with Odysseus already in his journey home, and "The Iliad," which begins with the conflict in the Trojan War. This technique captures the audience's attention and creates a sense of immediacy in the story.

The Odyssey begins after the Trojan War when Odysseus sets sail to reach Ithaca -- His native land/home. It takes place in several different areas but mostly around Greece.
