Exegesis
The relative pronoun hēn {ἣν | hḗn} with the verb eides {εἶδες | eî-des} forms a relative clause “whom you saw” that modifies “the woman,” linking this explanation to the earlier visionary description.
In context — Revelation 17:18
And the woman whom you saw is the great city that possesses sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
