Or to phrase the question differently, "Who discovered the correct explanation for the phases of the moon." I too would like to know. Did ancient astronomers know that the moon was reflecting the sun? Did they further discern that the phases were a result of seeing half-illuminated sphere from a different angle.
This drawing by Galileo suggests that he had it figured out, but was he the first: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Galileo_moon_phases.jpg

His astronomical observations were also revolutionary since he was the first person to use a telescope to examine the night sky and the astronomical objects therein. He was and remains a great inspiration to all the scientists who have come after him.
