Well, A traditional Epic is a (long!) story that arcs over years, With life-changing events for a culture/nation. It should have a journey part, a hero part and a homecoming (usually). Traditional Epics would be Gilgamesh, Iliad, Odyssey, Buddhacarita, Edda ( A collection of Epics ) And so on. What I'm inferring is that the work as a whole is a traditional Epic.
