I got stuck today so grabbed my thesaurus (the old fashioned version with words printed on paper) and started digging around for a few alternatives.

I found what I needed, only I don’t think many people would have heard of it so I performed a blog search to see how common it was.

The word is Peripeteia and it means A sudden change of events or reversal of circumstances, especially in literary work and this is Mike Rowe of Dirty Jobs explaining what it means. He also mentions AnagnorisisThe moment of recognition of discovery

If you have a few minutes take this trip with Mike to a sheep farm and you may experience your own anagnorisis!
