Well, to put it simply, almost every Moorcock character is an aspect of
the eternal champion, a person (thing?) that goes through an eternal
continuation of different incarnations, each incarnation being defined
by the particular social needs and situation that each place/time has
set up. That is social needs define a cultures' mythology.
Whether Elric/Jerry/Erikose/Corum/Hawkmoon/Etc simultaneously, in
different universes, different time-streams, or further along in the
same time, depends on the specific setting.
Well, I hope that was at least a little lucid, as I only woke up ten
minutes ago.
