In Greek mythology, Zelus or Zelos was the daimon that personifies dedication, eager rivalry, envy and zeal. The English word "zeal" is derived from his name. Zelus was the son of the Titan Pallas and the Oceanid Styx and thus, brother to Nike and Bia. Zelus together with his siblings were winged enforcers who stood in attendance at Zeus' throne and formed part of his retinue. "And Styx the daughter of Okeanos was joined to Pallas and bare Zelos and trim-ankled Nike in the house. She brought forth Kratos and Bia, wonderful children; these have no house apart from Zeus, nor any dwelling nor path except that wherein God leads them, but they dwell always with Zeus the loud-thunderer. For so did Styx the deathless daughter of Okeanos plan on that day when the Olympian Lightener called all the deathless gods to great Olympos, said that whosoever of the gods would fight with him against the Titanes, he would not cast him out from his rights, but each should have the office which he had before amongst the deathless gods.

And he declared that he, without office and rights as is just. So deathless Styx came first to Olympos with her children through the wit of her dear father, and Zeus honoured her, gave her great gifts, for her he appointed to be the great oath of the gods, her children to live with him always. And as he promised, so he performed unto them all." "Nike, Kratos and Bia were born to Pallas and Styx. Zeus instituted and oath to be sworn by the waters of Styx that flowed from a rock in Haides' realm, an honor granted in return for the help she and her children gave him against the Titanes." Zelus Roman name was Invidia, which, in Latin, meant "to look against in a hostile manner". Because of its relation to Zelus, his Roman form was sometimes associated with the seven deadly sins. "From Pallas the giant and Styx: Scylla, Invidia, Victoria." "Among the men of the fifth age... There will be no favour for the just or for the good. Strength will be right and reverence will cease to be. Envy, foul-mouthed, delighting in evil, with scowling face, will go along with wretched men one and all.

And Aidos and Nemesis, with their sweet forms wrapped in white robes, will go from the wide-pathed earth and forsake mankind to join the company of the deathless gods: and bitter sorrows will be left for mortal men, there will be no help against evil." "O father Zeus, how fierce a heart hath Zelos! Him hast thou made, O lord, mightier than nature to behold and has given him the bitter force of fire, in his right hand hast vouchsafed to him to wear a sword of adamant, he preserves not, when he comes, dear children to their loving parents, he knows nor comrade nor kin nor cousin, when he intervenes grievous and unspeakable. He in former times arrayed against their own children heroes themselves and hobble heroines." Zelos may have been identified with Agon, the personification of competition, was connected with Eris. He was sometimes associated with the daimon of romantic jealousy. Hesiod, Theogony from The Homeric Hymns and Homerica with an English Translation by Hugh G. Evelyn-White, Cambridge, MA.
