I first saw “epoch” in Chrono Trigger and I thought it was pronounced like “E-Pock.” Years later, I found out it’s the same as “epic.” So I had probably actually heard it spoken before ever reading it, but thought they were saying “epic” and not “epoch” because, in the context, both words would absolutely work.

Nah, this is wrong. In british english, it’s pronounced EE-pock. American it’s generally pronounced eh-pock. In no way is it ever pronounced ‘epic’.
