They are often histories of all type, can be bloody and of fear, after all, what is going to scare more than the Sun disappearing in the middle of the day?

One of most violent is an Indian legend, where a demon called Rahu tried to rob the nectar of immortality of the Gods, but the Sun and recognized it to the Moon. Rahu began to drink the nectar when Vishnu sent a disc to him that cut him the neck

The nectar still in the mouth of Rahu, but the rest of the body disappeared. The immortal head persecutes to the Sun and the Moon by skies and when them bites it reaches them, but as it does not have body, when swallows to the Moon or the Sun they appeare again

But there also are more romantics myths, like A German myth says that the Moon, that is a cold and vague man, ignores the passions of the Sun, who is female, during almost all the day, with the exception of some encounter during the eclipse, but they return to discuss and the Sun shine again. Also in western Africa, the solar eclipse also has been seen as a furtive and occasional appointment, but with the masculine Sun and the feminine Moon, that extinguish the lights by modesty.

And others more kind of funny like a cake being devoured slowly, the myths related to foods abound. The Nordics had a wolf that bit the Sun. In other parts it has been a dog, a dragoon, a bird and a serpent of hell. Often the beast return the Sun because he is too hot.

But the battles have also its place: an eclipse stopped in dry a battle between the Lydians and the medos do more than 2 thousand 500 years, in agreement with writings of the Greek historian Heródoto, where the soldiers of both parts so were terrified that they stopped fighting and they did the peace with the daughter of the Lydian king marrying with the son of the king medo
