Exegesis
The main finite verb estraphē {ἐστράφη | e-strá-phē} then advances the action, and the directional phrase eis ta opisō {εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω | eis ta o-pí-sō} narrows that turn to the space behind her.
In context — John 20:14
After saying these things, she turned toward the rear and saw Jesus standing, and she remained unaware that it was Jesus.
