It sounds quite awkward.

Both Arche and Logos are abstract concepts which were believed by their respective creators on how the universe was held together.

It sounds okay, once you add some pauses with commas. Try this…………………

***Both Arche and Logos are abstract concepts, of which their respective creators believed, were the substance, or idea, that held the universe together.

I guess… yeah, it doesn’t sound bad to me. But, maybe revising the sentence would be a good idea. It actually sounded weird to me.

Here’s my suggestion:

The creators of both Arche and Logos believed that they (Arche and Logos) are abstract concepts and the substance or idea that held the universe together.

I would say it this way:

Both Arche and Logos are abstract concepts which their respective creators believed were the substance or idea that held the universe together.

no. there is no real way of correcting it without rearranging the sentence, so my recommendation would be to say:

The creators of both Arche and Logos believed that these concepts were the substances or ideas that held the universe together.

concepts that

or

concepts, which

(no of, and if you say which, you need a comma)

grammatically, creators is correct, but factually it is incorrect

Make substance and idea plural, because they are modifying both, or reword your sentence to avoid that awkwardness.

shop it straight forward and boil it down. Use the previous straight forward fairly of a appropriate stressful and ditch the preposition on the tip of the sentence. Your sentence isn’t incorrect, whether it may desire to be more suitable. I forgot to put in all the polite stuff that often starts off or ends an e mail. I forgot to apply all the polite stuff that often starts off or ends an e mail. I forgot to apply the polite stuff that often starts off or ends an e mail.

Yes, I think it is although a teacher may make the remark that it is “too long”. Try rephrasing it.
