Identifying and analysing Saint's use of an anti-climax in 'Hera'

An anti-climax is when something that is much less exciting or dramatic happens than was expected. Stereotypically, anti-climaxes might be considered disappointing; however, they can be very subjective. Arguably, Saint's 'Hera' has an anti-climatic ending since the gods lose their power and fade away. Potentially, Saint may have chosen an anti-climatic ending to comment on ideas of transience and power. Arguably, the anti-climatic ending reflects how the gods no longer have the same power as they did.
