I’m not sure I understand your question. However, I was curious and googled Zeon and this wiki article came up:

Zeon (liturgy) - Wikipedia

Catholic priests also mix water into the wine which is an ancient custom as explained in this brief article, although I don’t think it has to be hot or boiling (if I’m wrong, someone please correct me!):

“As early as the fourth century, catechists explained that the water represented humanity and the wine, divinity. Once you put the water into the wine, it’s impossible to take it out again. Because of Jesus, humanity can never again be separated permanently from God. So the custom continues.”

I don’t know why the Eastern Orthodox use warm to hot to boiling water and couldn’t find an answer. Perhaps you could ask your priest? Or ask on an Orthodox forum?

(Interesting to learn that the fraction is also known as the Lamb of God. )

In the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, and the Divine Liturgy of Divine Liturgy of St. Basil, offered in the eastern Catholic and also the Eastern Orthodox churches, the hot water is added before reception of the Holy Mystery of Communion. The hot water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit (“Fire” and “Rivers of Water”) Symbolically, the warm water is the water which flowed from Jesus’s side at the Crucifixion, and that the Body of Christ is life-giving. We partake of the Resurrected Body and Blood of Christ so the warm chalice is a reminder.

There are words in the ancient Clementine liturgy (Apostolic Constitution), and of St. Mark, and of St. James, for mixing the wine and the water, referring to the blood and water that flowed from the side of Jesus at the Crucifixion. That use of water (not hot) also occurs in some Mass rituals of the Roman Church such as the Ambrosian and Mozarabic.
