what is the 1st epithet used for O. on page 380. what is the signifiance of this epithet and explain how this connects to the characteristics of an epic work of literature

I think the 1st epithet goes like,

"Be off, old man," he cried, "from the doorway, or you shall be dragged out neck and heels. Do you not see that they are all giving me the wink, and wanting me to turn you out by force, only I do not like to do so? Get up then, and go of yourself, or we shall come to blows."

Here the epic hero is challenged while in disguise as a lesser man, in this case a beggar.
