Getting dropped in medias res without knowing 100% of what is going on is just an ancient trope of story-telling.

It's certainly a trope. But is it ancient? I'm trying to think of ancient examples of this but I can't. Are you sure it's not a modern trope?

I think Homer's Odyssey is ancient enough.

Doesn't really count when it's a sequel.
