Plato touches on a universal theme...
The "Sins of the Father" derives primarily from the books of Exodus / Shemot, Numbers / Bemidbar, Deuteronomy / Devarim, et al. and has historically been interpreted to mean the iniquities of one generation passing to another. The idea has worked its way into popular culture via books, film, television, and music (including a cut on Tom Waits's 2004 "Real Gone" album)... it's part of our DNA.
While commonly seen in "negative" terms (i.e. the iniquities), some choose to expand the focus and include the positive 'hereditorical' aspects... I lean toward the latter.
