Sphragis is a literary device that involves the use of a seal or signature, often employed at the end of a work to signify ownership or authenticity. In classical literature, sphragis commonly refers to a short inscription, phrase, or signature that authors would use to establish their identity or to indicate the conclusion of a poem or a literary piece. This practice can also serve to highlight the importance of the work or to connect the writer’s personal identity with the text itself.
