One of the listed meanings of the 推量の助動詞 「む」 on Wikipedia is that of 反語, which I understand to mean "saying the opposite of what one means for rhetorical emphasis" in this context (as opposed to just a literal "antonym").
I have seen uses of most of the other meanings of 「む」 in my (limited) study of 文語, but have not encountered 「む」 used to mean 反語. What would an example of this look like?
