Most of the things I ask seem to be hard or impossible to answer, but I thought I’d try. There is a work possibly written by Aristotle, called “On Marvelous Things Heard” which, having been public domain for about 2000+ years, I would have thought would be online somewhere. But I don’t seem to be that good at Google or something. Anyone know where an online copy would be?
