Here are a couple of good surveys on the history of astronomy.
A History of Astronomy - A. Pannekoek
Aristarchus of Samos - Sir Thomas Heath
The first is a general history which ranges from ancient to modern times. The second contains a reprint of Aristarchus's work on the diameters and distances of the Sun and the Moon as well as some coverage of prior efforts in Greek astronomy.
