Apotheosis of St. Augustine

INGRES, Jean-Auguste-Dominique. The Apotheosis of Homer.
1827. Oil on canvas. Musée du Louvre, Pari

Consider this depiction of Homer's "Apotheosis." What does that word even mean? Pshaw, you say. I respond, Look it up. And when you have it, then consider if Homer, the bard, expected this honor. And consider further, if Augustine himself should deserve such honors, or what the apotheosis of St. Augustine would look like.
