A True Story by Lucian of Samosata
A wildly imaginative satirical travelogue in which a narrator and companions are swept beyond the known world into fantastical realms—floating islands, voyages to the Moon and the Sun, encounters with bizarre creatures and societies, underwater cities and strange landscapes—and even witness a war between celestial inhabitants; the absurd adventures parody and mock the conventions of sensational travel tales and credulous historians.
