Of course, some of the story is completely different. In the Nordic legend Mani, the moon god, was chased by wolves, lunar eclipse occurs when the wolves get close to Mani's charriot. Maybe this is not so different after all. Mani may be trying to eat the wolf. Rishi Yaska praised the ability to reflect sunlight seen from Earth (Nirukta 2.6), Gautama the Rishi, Rishi Rahugana son (Rigveda 1.84.15) reiterated the fact that, by the moon.

Allah's Apostle said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allah. They do not eclipse because of someone's death or life. So when you see them, invoke Allah and pray till the eclipse is clear."
