Ragnarök
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök ("fate of the gods"Snorri Sturluson in his Prose Edda spelled it Ragnarøkr (sometimes "Ragnarøkkr") which means "Twilight of the Gods," whence the German title of Wagner's work "Götterdämmerung." The phrase "Twilight of the Gods" is not, in fact, a latter day error of translation, but an error dating no later than the 13th century.
