__ couplet, form traditionally used in English epic poetry (6)

I believe the answer is:

heroic

(Other definitions for heroic that I've seen before include "Supremely courageous and brave" , "lion-hearted" , "Surpassing the ordinary, in courage say" , "Dramatic" , "Valiant, courageous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
