  |   |  Hyperbole has no plural in English. Therefore, you should be asking:
  "Can someone give specific lines where hyperbole occurs in a poem by Catullus?"
  Secondly, Garrison's edition doesn't give any specific examples, and I don't feel like hunting them down, so I'm afraid not. |   |

  |   |  | If you take a look at 69 Catullus makes a great hyperbole about the smell, the lines might not be perfect, but try lines 6-9. |   |
