This book presents an engaging summary of ancient Greek natural history, focusing on the writings of the influential zoologist, Aristotle, and his lesser-known contemporary, Aristophanes of Byzantium. The author draws on the detailed zoological observations of these ancient scholars to offer rare insights into the animal world as it was understood in the classical era. Not only is this book suitable as an introduction to ancient zoology, but it also offers expert commentary on the history and development of zoology as a scientific discipline. This commentary places the work of Aristotle and Aristophanes within its broader context, while also highlighting the enduring influence and significance of these thinkers to modern understandings of the animal kingdom.
