'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. The 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, upon the ultimate eclipse of Greek paganism by Christianity, from the torture to which he was sentenced by Zeus. The collection was first published in hardcover by T. Fisher Unwin in 1888. A 'new and augmented edition' was published by John Lane in 1903. In this form the collection continued to be reprinted and available through 1911. An edition with an introduction by T. E. Lawrence and illustrations by Henry Keen was published in 1924 by John Lane and by Dodd, Mead in the United States.
