Ailianos (Claudius Aelianus, about 165-225 AD) wrote a comprehensive book on animal life in addition to a work on "Miscellaneous Research". The author shows us what ancient people found remarkable about animals. We encounter mosquitoes and elephants as well as lovestruck fish and wondrous unicorns.The work is also a "quarry" for quotations from ancient literature that would otherwise be lost. Above all, however, it is a treasure trove for animal stories that not only appeal to readers interested in antiquity, but also to animal lovers far beyond.
