An example of epitheton is as follows:
"I accept this award on behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice."
Martin Luther King Jr., Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance
Notice that in this example, the adjective majestic is used to characterize the scorn.
