Ragnarök in Scandinavian mythology, the destruction or twilight of the gods; the final battle between the gods and the powers of evil, in which gods and men will be defeated by monsters and the sky will grow dark, the Scandinavian equivalent of the
Götterdämmerung. The original Old Norse form is
ragna rök, from
ragna ‘of the gods’ +
rök ‘destined end’, but the variant
Ragna rökr (
rökr ‘twilight’), which occurs in the prose
Edda, has influenced understanding of the name.
