Generations-spanning stories (5)

I believe the answer is:

epics

(Other definitions for epics that I've seen before include "Long poems about great events" , "Spice up with adventurous poems or stories" , "Long narrative poems telling of deeds of heroes" , "Long tales of heroic deeds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
