hey what’s the name for the heresy that Mary is the true god, sacrificing her son to save humanity

brilliant, thanks!
According to Epiphanius, certain women in then-largely-pagan Arabia syncretized indigenous beliefs with the worship of Mary, and offered little cakes or bread-rolls. These cakes were called collyris (Greek: κολλυρις), and are the source of the name Collyridians.
Mary-as-God is such an obvious inference I’m surprised it’s not more common.
I thought Mary as Eve worked better – God’s allowing the crucifixion not only as a twist on Abraham and Isaac but his doing it in the face of her lamentations as a redeeming of the Fall coming from Adam’s following Eve’s womanly direction
