Howdy,

Add the command

\epigraphrule{0pt}

in the preamble should make the rule have thickness 0pt so it will be  
invisible.

To get help with many packages issue the command

texdoc packagename

(where packagename is the name of the package; e.g., epigraph) in  
Terminal. It won't work with all packages but is very helpful with many.

Good Luck,
