Twilight of the Gods

The Twilight of the Gods, sometimes just "The Twilight", is the name given to the death of countless Olympian Gods. The catalyst of these events is Eve, the daughter of Xena and Callisto's spirit. It is also the main plot of the fifth Series of Xena: Warrior Princess.

Story
When Xena becomes mysteriously pregnant, the question is prompted as to who the father is, as Xena claims that she hasn't 'met the requirements needed' to become pregnant. As the series progresses, we discover that when Xena rescued Callisto from eternal torment, she chose to be reborn as Xena's daughter.

It isn't until Xena goes into labour that we first learn about the Twilight. Zeus confronts The Fates about the rumours of The Twilight, of which they confirm. Zeus panics, and decides to kill the bringer of Twilight - a defensless, unborn child. He doesn't succeed and is killed by his half God son, Hercules, using the Ribs of Kronos.
