Do I respect people who choose to use Ovid's retellings of the Greek myths rather than Ancient Greek sources? Absolutely.
Will I judge people who use Ovid's retellings of the Greek myths without using Roman names or without placing them in the context of Ancient Rome? Absolutely.
Will I hate the people who will for example take elements of Ovid and project them onto Homer's Iliad or Odyssey? Definitively.
