The myth
Sebeku reinvents Sobek, a god in the form of a crocodile or a crocodile-headed man, an important protective deity. His chief sanctuary was in the Faiyum region, home to a sacred crocodile, Petsuchos, in which the god was believed to be incarnate. Sobek was also merged with the sun as Sobek-Ra. World History Encyclopedia notes that the crocodile was associated with the Nile's fertility. Budge summarizes a Book of the Dead chapter in which Sobek recovers the body of the drowned Horus.
