Some forms, such as the Terza Rima Sonnet, are named based on their structure, while others, such as the Ode and Epinicia, are named based on their theme or style. Therefore, it is possible to have overlapping forms. If you will notice in the link I provided, one of the examples (Casey at the Bat: https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/casey-bat ) is written in rhyming couplets and others are written in free verse. Of course, there is an element of interpretation involved here, because, in the end, "there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out."

An Epinicia is any poem written about triumph in whatever structure you choose, so my example would be a Terza Rima Sonnet Epinicia, to be precise.
