Battle of the Eclipse
text:
The Battle of the Eclipse was fought in the early 6th century BCE in Anatolia between the Medes and the Lydians. According to ancient Greek historian Herodotus, the battle was interrupted by "day turning into night" – presumably a solar eclipse – and the result was a draw which led to both parties negotiating a peace treaty and ending a six-year war.
