Smoking.Chimp wrote: Is it possible that "mantling" is being confused with "apotheoses"? Although confused by modern writers with the term, "apex", the term "apotheoses" was coined to refer to "ascension to divinity".

"Mantling", on the other hand, is a noun, taken from heraldry jargon, which refers to "a piece of ornamental drapery depicted issueing from a helmet and surrounding a shield". No, it's not. As Ika already said, "Mantling" is becoming so similar to a deity that this person and the deity basicly "merge". It's a bit more complex than that, but I'm really not in the mood right know to write 4 Paragraphs about it.
