I would agree with the poster above me, but "epic" can also be used when speaking as slang for "awesome" or "incredible". For example, two friends might say: Person 1: "Did you hear Mr. Zurcher yodeling in class today?" Person 2: "I did! It was epic." **this is kind of extra** Using slang is kind of a style choice. Using the word "epic" instead of "awesome" or "incredible" here gives a different feel to the sentence.

As a noun: a story about a hero or about great, important events As an adjective: very large, often in the phrase "in epic proportions"
