Seker (/ˈsɛkər/; also spelled Sokar, and in Greek, Sokaris or Socharis) is a hawk or falcon god of the Memphite necropolis in the Ancient Egyptian religion, who was known as a patron of the living, as well as a god of the dead.[citation needed] He is also in some accounts a solar deity as for The Temple of Seker in Memphis.
