Question

How does Horace defend the charges made against him in Satire 1: 4?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Horace's defense of his satire in 1.4 rests on a self-description couched in ethical, not poetic, terms. ... When Horace asks whether his poetry is justifiably suspectum (1.4. 65), he answers by telling us who he is; the poet is the answer to the question about the genre. Style and ethos are thus made indistinguishable.
