An epic is essentially a large user story that can be broken up into several smaller stories.

See Creating an Epic and Adding an Issue to an Epic.

Epics are implemented in GreenHopper via a JIRA custom field of type 'label', which are used to associate cards with a parent epic.

From GreenHopper 5.3, your GreenHopper project must use the 'Scrum' template to successfully work with Epics. Upon applying this template to your GreenHopper project, you will then be able to associate Epics with other GreenHopper issue types and vice versa (as described in Working with Epics in GreenHopper Classic).
