Text 1 Roman literature has been greatly influenced by Ovid's Metamorphoses. This epic poem is considered to be one of the most important works of the Augustan age. It has been praised for its style, its use of mythology, and its influence on later literature. Numerous writers, including Virgil and Horace, have used it as a model for their own works.
 Text 2 Literary critic Julius Caesar and colleagues have argued that the influence of Metamorphoses on Roman literature has been overstated. They suggest that while Ovid's work is indeed significant, it is not the sole influence on Roman literature. Other factors, such as the political climate and cultural shifts of the time, have also played a crucial role. Further, they argue that the influence of other poets, like Homer and Sappho, should not be overlooked. Based on the texts, how would Julius Caesar and colleagues (Text 2) most likely respond to the “influence of Metamorphoses on Roman literature” discussed in Text 1?
