Zetes

Zetes may refer to multiple subjects, most notably in mythology and in modern business.

In Greek mythology, Zetes (Greek: Ζήτης) is one of the Boreads, the winged sons of Boreas, the North Wind, and thus the brother of Calais. They joined Jason and the Argonauts on the quest for the Golden Fleece. Zetes, endowed with wings, could fly and scout ahead during the voyage. A notable episode places him and Calais in the encounter with Phineus, the blind seer tormented by the Harpies; the brothers pursued and drove away the Harpies, freeing Phineus from their torment. In later classical poetry, Zetes is sometimes listed among the principal Argonauts.

In modern usage, Zetes refers to a European technology company that provides identity management and supply
