Found this book by Aristotle, History of Animals, while reading Octopus!: The Most Mysterious Creature in the Sea. Aristotle is really a keen observer; and some passages seems to be quite hilarious lol.
Pliny's Natural History is of course famous, and vast. In some passages he is known to depart from dispassionate explanations and fulminate about the state of things(mores, etc) lol.
