Kek je bil poosebljenje prvobitne teme (egipčansko kkw sm3w[1]) v staroegipčanski hermopolski ogdoadski teoriji o nastanku sveta. Ogdoado so sestavljali štirje pari božanstev, štirje moški bogovi v paru z njihovimi ženskimi dvojniki. Kekova dvojnica je bila boginja Kekuit.[2][3][4] Kek in Kekuit sta v nekaterih pogledih predstavljala noč in dan in sta se zato imenovala tudi "dvigalec dneva" in "dvigalka noči".[5]

Imeni Keka in Kekuit sta se pisali kk ali kkwy. H Kekovemu imenu se je pripisoval hieroglif za sonce, k Kekuitinemu pa hieroglif za temo.[6]

Zgodovina

[uredi | uredi kodo]

Na najstarejših upodobitvah je imel Kek kačjo glavo, Kekuit pa žabjo ali mačjo glavo. Na nekaterih upodobitvah sta se enačila s Ka in Kait. V teh primerih je imel Ka-Kek glavo žabe, na kateri je čepel hrošč, Kait-Kekuit pa glavo kače, na kateri je slonel sončni disk.[7]

V grško-rimskem obdobju Egipta se je Keka upodabljalo kot moškega z žabjo glavo, Kekuit pa kot žensko s kačjo glavo, tako kot vse druge dualistične koncepte ogdoade.
