N2  - "The Twilight of the Gods, and Other Tales" by Richard Garnett is a collection of fantasy short stories first published in 1888. This classic work draws upon diverse sources—from Arabic legends and Chinese fairy tales to Roman history and Greek mythology—to craft wryly whimsical narratives. The title story explores Prometheus's release from eternal torture as Christianity eclipses Greek paganism. Praised for their wit, cosmopolitan learning, and Epicurean humanism, these deft fantasies span many times and places with timeless grace. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
