According to this:
- The phrase ‘twilight of the gods’, made famous by both Richard Wagner (as the German Götterdämmerung) and Friedrich Nietzsche in the nineteenth century, is founded on a lexical mix-up: the Norse original, Ragnarok, literally means the Doom of the
Gods, but somewhere along the line the word rök (‘doom’) was confused with røkkr (‘twilight’).
