From pre-Islamic times professional dancers, musicians, and singers in the
Middle East belonged to the slave caste.The majority of professional dancers,
including singers, were female slaves, and they were often called “Qaina". ( An
Eastern form of the Western worlds, Courtesans ) The Qaina were in fact highly-educated women who, besides being trained extensively in singing, music, dance, and poetry recitation, were also often educated in literature, philosophy, and the sciences.Even though technically slaves, the Qaina possessed more freedom than many  women , and although their profession had a stigma attached to it, they nevertheless  had an elevated social status. The Qaina wear more brightly colored clothing, and  more ornaments, as well as speaking their minds more freely than other women.

The son of Neith, Sobek was a sort of bodyguard to various gods, especially Ra and Set (in his original form), and was seen as having a similar function for the pharaoh. In times of need, he gives the pharaoh strength and fortitude so that he may overcome all obstacles. He also protects the pharaoh from all harm, especially evil magic.
 To his worshipers, he was a god who created the Nile, a god of fertility and rebirth, and the symbolic strength of the ruler of Egypt. According to legend, Sobek was a fourfold deity. He represented the four elemental gods, Ra of fire, Shu of air, Geb of earth, and Osiris of water. A crocodile, a man with the head of a crocodile, or a mummified crocodile are used as representations for Sobek. He is sometimes shown wearing a solar disk and horns like those of Amon-Ra. Throughout history, he has been known as Sebek, Sebek-Ra, Sobk, Suchos, Sobki, and Soknopais.
