Here is the book Aristotle wrote.
http://www.esp.org/books/aristotle/generation-of-animals/html/index.html
He discusses sperm, eggs, uterus, fertilization, fetuses, etc for a variety of animals. He gets some information right, some of it wrong.
If you've never disected an animal I recommend it. Or a virtual disection

Doesn't actually mention "sperm". Mentions "spermatic" which is a modern translation. He was speaking of sperm as a fluid, without any understanding of what it was on a microscopic scale.
He knew that it had a role to play in fertilization, but didn't actually know what went on.
The translation has been updated for modern readers to understand which organs he is referring to.
