Zelos is the Greek daemon of ice.

In Greek mythology, Zelus (Greek: Ζῆλος, zeal) was the son of Pallas and Styx. Zelus and siblings Nike (victory), Cratos (strength) and Bia (force) were winged enforcers who stood in attendance at Zeus' throne and formed part of his retinue. These would also be turned over to what also may be called ArchAngels.

Zelus personifies dedication, emulation, eager rivalry, envy, jealousy, joy, anger, love, courage and zeal. The English word "zeal" is derived from his name.

Zelos was closely connected with Eris.
