twilight of gods
Deities' final destruction
Twilight of the gods translates the German *Götterdämmerung*, the title of Wagner's opera depicting the downfall of Norse deities.
The phrase describes the catastrophic end of an era or the spectacular collapse of once-powerful figures or institutions: The scandal marked the twilight of the gods for that generation of tech billionaires.
It carries a sense of grandeur even in destruction—not mere failure, but mythic, inevitable fall.
