The twilight of the gods and other tales

Über

The Twilight of the Gods and Other Tales is a collection of fantasy short stories by Richard Garnett, generally considered a classic in the genre. Its title notwithstanding, the collection "has nothing to do with the Norse gods—although it draws upon everything else, from Arabic legends and Chinese fairy tales to Roman history and Greek mythology." The title story actually concerns the release of Prometheus from the torture to which he was sentenced by Zeus upon the ultimate eclipse of Greek paganism by Christianity.
