In ancient times what was the explanation for static electricity? Surely this must have been a rather strange thing to people who did not know the science behind it. Are there any accounts of static electricity attempting to be explained? Did it play any major roles in the mythology of ancient cultures?
Not to discourage any further answers, but this is a rather common question. I'd direct you to the FAQ on Ancients' views of static electricity. Hopefully that should help answer your question!
