eclipse over the Greek island of Paros prompted the poet Archilocus to write:

Olympian, has turned midday into black night by shielding light from the
blossoming Sun, and now dark terror hangs over mankind. Anything may happen.

heavenly dog was biting the sun. In Peru, it was described as a puma while the
