Earlier ,the Babylonians had attempted to map the world ,but they presented it in the form of a flattened disc rather than a sphere ,which was the form adopted by Ptolemy .更早之前,巴比伦人曾试图绘制世界地图,但是他们把它绘制成平盘状而不是托勒密所采用的球体状.
我的问题是：最后一句中 （which was the form adopted by Ptolemy ）的 the form 做什么成分?was adopted by 不就是构成被动语态吗?为什么把the form 摆在这个位置呢?

the form 做表语,adopted by Ptolemy 是过去分词做定语,修饰the form
看一下面的例子：
I read a book written by Luxun in 1927
是为了跟“the form of a flattened disc”中的“the form”相对应
adopted by Ptolemy是用来修饰the form的，不是修饰 a sphere的
