About this episode

Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !

Et si une éclipse pouvait stopper une guerre ? En 585 avant notre ère se serait produite l’éclipse solaire la plus ancienne jamais enregistrée et qui, en plus, a arrêté une guerre ! C’est l’historien grec Hérodote qui rapporte l’événement, je vous raconte !

Bonne écoute !
