An epithet is a descriptive word or phrase that regularly accompanies or replaces the name of a person, place, or thing—like "the Great" in Alexander the Great or "the Conqueror" in William the Conqueror. These descriptions can be literally descriptive of someone's characteristics or achievements, or they can be more indirect references that have become associated with a particular figure throughout history.

L'epiteto (in greco antico: ἐπίθετος, epíthetos, «aggiunto») è l'accostamento, generalmente al sostantivo, di un elemento che lo caratterizza. Si distinguono due tipologie di epiteti: formulari, nei quali ricorre una formula descrittiva ricorrente, e attributivi, più variegati che invece hanno una pura funzione oggettivistica.
