Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Twilight of the Gods, and Other Tales" by Richard Garnett is a collection of short stories written during the early 20th century. The book delves into themes of mythology, philosophy, and the interplay between the divine and mortal realms, exploring the implications of belief and the fading influence of ancient deities. It opens with the tale of Prometheus, who after centuries of torment, encounters a mortal maiden named Elenko in a world that has largely forgotten the gods. The opening of the book introduces Prometheus, who is freed from his eternal chains only to find himself in an unfamiliar world where the worship of the gods has been abandoned. He meets Elenko, the last priestess of Apollo, who has fled from a mob intent on destroying the remnants of their ancient faith. Their conversation reveals a landscape of lost divinity and evolving human beliefs, as Elenko grapples with her own identity and the implications of abandoning the gods she once served. Prometheus, now mortal and disillusioned, contemplates the fate of humanity and the role they've played in the gods' downfall, setting the stage for rich philosophical discourses woven throughout the narrative. Their unexpected bond hints at a deeper connection between humanity and deity that transcends mere belief, positioning the reader for a thought-provoking exploration of faith and legacy.
