The Egyptian crocodile-god Sebek or Sobek is a complex deity who was regarded differently in different parts of Egypt. This is typical of the very confusing nature of the ancient Egyptian religion, where the same god or goddess can have many different appearances, responsibilities, connections and associations with other gods.

He is not thought to have a female counterpart or wife, but he was sometimes worshipped as part of a triad (group of three gods, a common phenomenon in ancient Egypt): Sebek + Tasenetnofret + Panebtawi, or the triad Sebek + Hathor + Khonsu.

The goddess Tasenetnofret (her name means "the good/beautiful sister") is one of the many manifestations of Hathor; she is normally considered a wife of Horus.
