'Epoch' is used much less frequently in history than 'era' (e.g., the "Era of Good Feelings" in U.S. history).

'Epoch' is more commonly used in geological or paleontological contexts; you might consider specifying the latter rather than just 'history'.

Since era is not a 5-letter word, I think it's safe to assume that it's not a possible answer.

Yeah you should probably specify that it's a word commonly used by Karl Marx since 'era' is much more widespread in history than 'epoch'.

I do not know how I got Owens. I knew it started with an o and ended with s and somehow the first name that came to my mind was Owens. So I guess I did hear of him before, even if I can't remember that I ever did ^^

Aesop is not Greek, he was an Ethiopian taken as a slave by Iadmon and forced to Greece.

Pretty much nothing is know for certain about Aesop, but some traditions (mainly based on his name) say he might have been from Thrace or Phrygia, none of which are even close to Ethiopia. Where the hell are you getting Ethiopia from?

How does one Greece?

In any case, considering regardless of birthplace he was pretty much very greek according to the ever so xenophobic greeks themselves, I guess he Greeced pretty hard.

There are like ten cities whose cathedral is called Notre Dame in France. Some of them are well known too. The kings of France were crowned in the Notre Dame of Reims and the one in Amiens is a classical example of gothic architecture
Ferbin

But neither Reims nor Amiens start with P. Nor does Amiens have 5 letters.

Seriously, are people so lazy they don't even read the title of the quiz?

It's not that. The clues, in my opinion, should be solvable without the 5-letter chain part. That should just be another hint.

Otherwise, you could have clues like "country" that are practically impossible without other answers.
