Oh! I know that one!
Wasn't it Aristarchus or something like that?
Exactly.
Aristarchus of Samos born 310 BC or 1800 years before Copernicus,
He also worked out the relative sizes of the earth, moon and sun and worked out that the Heavens were not some Celestial sphere but a universe of almost infinite size.
