that Thales of Miletus won acclaim among the Ionians for having predicted the period in which that eclipse occurred. Herodotus gives no indication of date...

Eclipses may occur repeatedly, separated by certain intervals of time: these intervals are called eclipse cycles. The series of eclipses separated by a...

astronomy was plundered from Babylon, including 800+ years of eclipse and planetary data. And Thales seems to have learned astronomy from Babylon. Having visiting...

"Millionaires don't use astrology; billionaires do". The mundane article on Thales doesn't mention why a philosopher would predict the weather and take a risk...
