Coyne explores the psychological, cultural, and ethical dimensions of these rituals, uncovering why societies felt compelled to act when the sun or moon vanished from the sky. Through detailed historical accounts, archaeological evidence, and comparative analysis, the book reveals the universal human drive to find meaning, assert control, and restore balance in moments of cosmic uncertainty.
Illuminating the enduring influence of eclipses on myth, ritual, and human imagination, this book is both a historical chronicle and a profound reflection on the shadow within humanity the instinctive fear, reverence, and creativity that emerge when the heavens themselves are cast into darkness.
