Chiasmus:In Catullus 5, lines 2-3: "rumoresque senum severiorum omnes"
English: "all rumors of more harsh old men"
Synchisis:In Catullus 66, line 58: "Graiia Canopitis incola litoribus"
English: "a Greek inhabitant on Egyptian shores"
Alliteration:In Catullus 36, line 1: "cacata carta"
A short, yet entertaining alliteration.
"shitted sheets" of course!
Hyperbole:In Catullus 7, line 3: "...quam magnus numerus Libyssae harenae..."
English: "...as great a number of Libyan sand..." (talking about amount of kisses from Lesbia)
That's a whole lot of kisses!
Apostrophe: In Catullus 49, line 4: "...Catullus...pessimus omnium poeta..."
This may not be correct, but I thought it would be considered an apostrophe since he referred to himself in the third person and was thrown in randomly (talking to Cicero).
English: "Catullus, the worst poet of all"
Aporia:In Catullus 63, line 60: "abero foro, palaestra, stadio et gymnasiis?"
English: "will I be absent from the forum, from the wrestling arena, the race course, and the gym?"
Attis' uncertainty after he became a she; wondering what will become of her.
