Paul B pointed out the use of the word “Apothesis” in the recent post that I made about the hero’s journey. The list of steps was taken directly from page 16 of Christopher Vogler’s book “the writer’s journey: mythic structures for storytellers and screenwriters”. When I searched online for the word the Dictionary of Difficult Words told me
apothesis
n. Medicine, setting of broken limb.
Which is strange, because Dictionary.com says
apothesis\A*poth”e*sis\, n. [Gr. ? a putting back or away, fr. ?. See Apothecary.] (Arch.) (a) A place on the south side of the chancel in the primitive churches, furnished with shelves, for books, vestments, etc. –Weale. (b) A dressing room connected with a public bath.
Paul B pointed out and I agree with him because I was originally confused by the choise of words, that he might have meant “Apotheosis“. I just dont know. Can anyone that is more familiar with Vogler, Campell and the hero’s journey clear things up?
