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".
