Here is another (very simple) example of an epitheton:
"Swift-footed Achilles"

Notice that the epitheton is swift-footed because it is an adjective to describe Achilles.
*Note: Epitheton are ubiquitous in The Illiad and The Odyssey. Basically, you can easily find them in Ancient Greek literature because of how the people described Gods.
p.s. Sorry I am a little late posting this!
