Well, TV Tropes says:
 * A longer-than-average story that...
 * ... Is wide in scope (not just one battle or skirmish, but a country-wide/planet-wide/galaxy-wide war or catastrophe) and...
 * ... Follows one hero, group of heroes or bloodline, who...
 * ... Strive to achieve a particular goal or complete a quest, in the course of which they...
 * ... Commit extraordinary deeds and...
 * ... Have multiple (three or more) separate adventures in the course of their quest or journey.
