Aristarchus of Samos (c. 310 - c. 230 BC) was the first we know of (heliocentric is a greek word, not polish). He identified the "central fire" with the Sun, and put the other planets in their correct order of distance around the Sun.

How did Aristotle inability to detect parallax lead him to propose a geocentric model of the solar system?
He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary. This erroneous assumption was because at the time he had no way of knowing that celestial objects were so far away that their parallax angles were too small to detect.He reasoned that since parallax could not be observed for celestial objects near the sun, then the earth was stationary.

How was renaissance belief different?
Renaissance belief was different from medieval belief in that it emphasized the importance of humanism, individualism, and exploring the potential of human intellect and creativity. It celebrated the achievements of classical antiquity and encouraged critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the natural world. This contrasted with the more rigid, religious-focused mindset of the medieval period.
When were Galileo's ideas accepted?
Yes. The geocentric system was long accepted. Briefly the geocentric system used the earth as the center of the universe, thus the sun and planets revolved around the earth as center of the universe. The geocentric system had religious implications of the earth as the seat of "God". The heliocentric system replaced the geocentric system in Copernicus' time, with the sun as the center. This challenged the religious concepts. The "geocentric" system is still accepted. Locating heavenly bodies still use the RA (Right Ascension) system which is geocentric. Leaving out the question of where "God" lives, the astronomical question is simplicity of astronomy calculations..
