There are several cultures that have myths about the lunar eclipse, all seem to think something is swallowing the moon. While the Egyptians saw it as a sow swallowing the moon, the Mayans a Jaguar and the Chinese a three legged toad. The most bizarre being that some societies believed it to be a demon and tried to chase it away by throwing things at the moon.
