One could easily argue that all of James Michener's books are epics.
My favorite was The Source, which gives a history of the Holy land told via a fictional archaeological dig in Israel. It's a great education on the history of Israel and the Middle East; from the Stone Age to the mid-1960s, and still very relevant today.
