apotheosized
Elevated to godhood
Apotheosized means elevated to divine status or treated as a god.
More commonly, it describes being glorified or idealized to an extreme degree: Elvis has been apotheosized by his fans.
The word suggests transformation from ordinary to exalted, whether literally in ancient contexts or figuratively when someone is placed on a pedestal.
