In Egyptian mythology, Sobek (also spelt Sebek, Sochet, Sobk, Sobki, Soknopais, and in Greek, Suchos) was the deification of crocodiles, and was originally a demon, as crocodiles were deeply feared in the nation so dependant on the Nile River. His worship began as an attempt to placify crocodiles so as to reduce the danger they posed.
Gradually, Sobek, as a major one of its residents, also came to symbolise the produce of the Nile, thus the fertility to the land that it brought, and so his status quickly became more ambiguous. Sometimes, the ferocity of a crocodile was seen in a positive light, Sobek in these circumstances being considered the army's patron, as representative of their strength and power.
