According to the passage, it was Ptolemy of Alexandria who ----.
The major sciences of the Hellenistic Age were
astronomy, mathematics, geography, medicine, and
physics. The most renowned of the early Hellenistic
astronomers was Aristarchus of Samos (310-230
B.C.), sometimes called the “Hellenistic Copernicus.”
His primary accomplishment was his deduction that
the Earth and the other planets revolve around the
Sun. This view was not accepted by his successors
because it conflicted with the teachings of Aristotle
and also with the Greek conviction that humanity, and
therefore the Earth, must be at the centre of the
universe. Later, in the second century A.D.,
Aristarchus's fame was overshadowed by that of
Ptolemy of Alexandria. Although Ptolemy made few
original discoveries, he systematized the works of
others. His principal writing, The Almagest, based on
the view that all heavenly bodies revolve around the
Earth, was handed down to medieval Europe as the
classic summary of ancient astronomy.
