Apotheosis
/əˌpɒθiˈəʊsɪs//əˌpɑːθiˈəʊsɪs/The word "apotheosis" originates from the Greek words "apo" meaning "from" and "theos" meaning "god". In ancient Greek mythology, apotheosis referred to the deification of a mortal person, elevating them to the status of a god or goddess. This concept was often depicted in art and literature, where a mortal would be transformed into a divine being. For example, Alexander the Great was often depicted as Zeus, the king of the gods, after his death. In modern usage, apotheosis refers to the act of elevating someone or something to a position of great reverence, admiration, or even divinity. It can also describe the peak of something's development or the ultimate expression of an idea or concept. For instance, "The apotheosis of the space program came with the first manned mission to Mars."
