Exegesis
The sentence is a single copulative clause built around estin {ἔστιν | é-stin} “is,” which equates two nominative phrases: hē gynē {ἡ γυνὴ | hē gynḗ} “the woman” and hē polis hē megalē {ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη | hē pólis hē me-gá-lē} “the great city.”
In context — Revelation 17:18
And the woman whom you saw is the great city that possesses sovereignty over the kings of the earth.
