Apotheosis

"Apotheosis (Greek: ἀποθέωσις, from ἀποθεόω/ἀποθεῶ, ´´to deify´´; also called divinization and deification from Latin: deificatio, lit. ´´making divine´´) is the glorification of a subject to divine level and most commonly, the treatment of a human like a god. The term has meanings in theology, where it refers to a belief, and in art, where it refers to a genre.

In theology, apotheosis refers to the idea that an individual has been raised to godlike stature. In art, the term refers to the treatment of any subject (a figure, group, locale, motif, convention or melody) in a particularly grand or exalted manner." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.12.2020)
