Epic vs. Awesome

There’s bit of a discussion between me and @ludooo about which word has the most significance when measuring the greatness of something.

I say epic is bigger than awesome. @ludooo says awesome is bigger than epic (he’s not right, of course).

Please help us decide!

  1. Have you ever tried a dictionary?

    Awe is a brief moment, an instant.
    Epic is a long story, an era.
    Epic contains awe, therefore epic is bigger than awe.

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/awe
    «… an emotion …»

    http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/epic
    «… extending beyond the usual or ordinary especially in size or scope …»
    or, better still:
    «… of, relating to, or having the characteristics of an epic …»
    being a poem a **set** of emotions, it can contain **awe**, but awe cannot contain epic.

    This proves, beyond any doubt, that **epic** is bigger than **awe**.
