In the majority of lunar eclipses that we are now familiar with the moon does not completely disappear. Instead the moon moves in front of the sun and obscures the light coming from the sun. In the descriptions of Aglaonice's eclipses there was no reference to any failures or the moon being partially consumed, but rather the moon was completely devoured. This then implies that the eclipses utilized by Aglaonice were total eclipses.
