Anyone know any epics of the Classical genre?

I'm looking for Classical music with a grand/epic feel to it. Something along the lines of "O Fortuna" by Carl Orff, "Dies Irae" by Karl Jenkins, or "Movement 1" by Vangelis.

I like "Mars, the Bringer of War" by Gustav Holst. Worth checking out. Also the Mozart version of "Dies Irae" from his "Requiem."

I have only an intermediate knowledge of the genre, but I know that Beethoven's 9th, and the William Tell Overture always seemed grandiose to me.
