Is this really an old Geek word? That's why I didn't recognize it!!! :)
It sounded Geek to me....

I also love the alternate title....kind of hard to fit on a slide though.

Actually, I rather fancy that one.

Oops! It's both Greek and Geek! Thanks David!

Whenever I judge shows, I don't read titles deliberately, as for me, the work should suggest or carry an idea without the attachment of language. If it says "Ecstasy," and doesn't LOOK ecstatic, well.....

But what do I know, this Art thing is all Geek to me....

As I understand it apotheoun is from the greek meaning to deify. Furthermore it is a topic of disussion or study in Catholicism concerning the nature of God.

I've not studied it whole but as I said, this is how I understand it.
