What I understand here is the emotion but not the exact meaning.
Please help me with the syntax:

"Was it possible, that at every gathering—concert, peace rally,
love-in, be-in, and freak-in, here, up north, back East,
wherever—those dark crews had been busy all along, reclaiming the
music, the resistance to power, the sexual desire from epic to
everyday, all they could sweep up, for the ancient forces of greed and
fear? "

I mean, are both "from epic to everyday" and "for the ancient forces
of greed and fear" related directly to "reclaiming", or is "from epic
to everyday" an apposition to "sexual desire"?

Thanks,
János
