"Paradise Lost" et al (5)

I believe the answer is:

epics

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

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the LA Times.
