The philosophy of metaphysics first became popular among thinkers during the age of Greece philosophers such as Aristotle (around 350 B.C.). The expansion of this thinking into epistemology truly expanded in the 18th century.
Metaphysics as a branch of philosophy has been studied since ancient times, with roots in the works of ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. Its popularity has varied throughout history, but it gained significant attention during the medieval and early modern periods with the rise of scholasticism and the works of prominent philosophers like Thomas Aquinas and René Descartes.
Epistemology: eg. "What do meanings, meaning?" This, and metaphysics are the first two subsets of philosophy.

In the writings of Aristotle concerning the study of nature which to him meant "physics" he uses the term of "first philosophy" in the third discipline of this treatise. In modern terminology metaphysics comes closest to his meaning.
Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that explores the nature of reality, existence, and being. It delves into questions about the fundamental structure of the world, the relationships between mind and matter, and the nature of consciousness. Metaphysics seeks to understand the underlying principles that govern the universe and our place within it.

No. Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the first causes. It has been erroneously thought to be synonymous with "occult" or "magic" but is almost completely unrelated. There are mythological and magical creatures (if you believe in such things) but no such thing as a "metaphysical creature".

Epistemological philosophy has gone in hand with all Philosophy throughout history. A group of philosophers called the Pre-Socratics our are earliest known philosophical thinkers, and epistemology goes hand in hand with ontology and metaphysics throughout their writings. The first real push toward Epistemological study in its own right can be associated with the skeptics like Phyrro, and with Plato and the sophists, all of these groups coming to widely different conclusions. Again epistemology is closely linked to metaphysics throughout these thinkers. In all truth, it is impossible to identify one scholar as a founder of epistemological thought.

Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. He wrote on many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Plato's teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. He was the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality and aesthetics, logic and science, politics and metaphysics.
