I am easily confused, and you guys have confused the daylights out of me.  
Are you talking about "Rahab" and "Leviathan."  I'm surprised if you are; 
Rahab 
is the ancient name for Egypt, and "Leviathan" is the antiquity name for 
Satan, the twisted serpent that God cut his heads off and placed them in the 
deep.  
By the way, "Leviathan" means, "the one who live among the sea of humanity."
