SOBEK:
Sobek is a river god, representing the produce of the Nile
(crops, fish, and other items). In some accounts, he is the
son of Set and the goddess Neith. He is the patron god of
crocodiles, and his worshippers would sacrifice to him in
order to get protection from the crocodiles in the Nile River,
which were much feared. Because of his fierce nature, he was
also the patron of the Pharoah's army. Sobek is typically
depicted as a human with the head of a crocodile, or as a
crocodile itself.
