The lack of chronicles of eclipses by the inveterate and meticulous “sky watchers” is utterly baffling.

It seems that very few are aware that the ancient Greeks were also superstitious, despite their logical thinking. This perhaps explains why it was the Greeks who shaped the system of astrology into its modern day form, even though the first organized system of astrology arose during the 2nd millennium BC, in Babylon.
