Geb was frequently described mythologically as the father of snakes could also be depicted as a ram, a bull or a crocodile. Geb is the husband of [[Nut]], the sky or visible daytime and nightly firmament, the son of the earlier primordial elements [[Tefnut]] (moisture) and [[Shu]] ('emptiness'), and the father to the four lesser gods of the system – [[Osiris]], [[Seth]], [[Isis]] and [[Nephthys]].
