epics

'sweeping stories' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

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

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
