Ultima Thule (Episode 3) - Thales: The Man, The Legend (Parts 1 - 3)

In the last episode we learned about the historic Battle of the Eclipse, which is widely referenced as the earliest known event in history tied to a specific date. While neither the leaders of Lydia or Media knew what to make of the unusual eclipse that occurred over the final battle of the Lydo-Median War apparently one man had predicted the eclipse, centuries before the ability to predict eclipses was known. Dive in and learn about the OG sage of ancient Greece - Thales of Miletus - and whether he truly had the ability to predict eclipses or whether his prediction is an exaggeration of persona that was already larger than life.
