Paris (AFP) Mar 27, 2006 - It has been called the Sun-eating Dragon. The Spirit
of the Dead. The Eye of God. A harbinger of great events, good and evil --
terrible famines, bumper harvests, wars, the birth and death of kings. On
Wednesday, tens of millions of people will be treated to this spine-tingling
celestial sight: a total eclipse of the Sun.

"Nothing can be surprising any more, or impossible or miraculous, now that Zeus, father of the Olympians, has made night out of noonday, hiding the bright sunlight, and ... fear has come upon mankind," wrote the Greek poet Archilochus after an eclipse in 648 BC.

"After this, men can believe anything, expect anything.

"Don't any of you be surprised in future if land beasts change places with dolphins and go to live in their salty pastures, and get to like the sounding waves of the sea more than the land, while the dolphins prefer the mountains."
