In 1.4 Lucilius is the direct descendant of the Old Comic poets in his activity of marking (notabant) those who deserve blame.
The habit of Old Comedy that Lucilius inherits, of marking human faults, is practiced by Horace’s father for moral and pedagogical ends, and this is the habit which Horace the son internalized.
In both poems Horace clearly presents the paternal aspect of his relation to Lucilius and Maecenas, and then articulates the way in which his biological father is the prior and more significant influence.

B.C.), the lanx satura or olla podrida of scraps of heterogeneous and discursive observations had been compounded; but it was not till Lucilius had seasoned it with “Italian vinegar” that the production could be looked upon as “satire” in the modern sense of the word.
This ingredient, however, Horace declares, was, to a great extent, derived by Lucilius from the poets of the old Greek comedy.
