Zeus is an EP by the band British Sea Power. It was released on 4 October 2010 in the UK.
The EP, and its title track, are named after the transit van used by the band, according to singer and guitarist Yan.
The band's merchandise stand at concerts also sold their own brand of beer named "Zeus".
Contradictory to the appearance of their names, the track "Mongk" is a remix of the song "Mongk II", which was written earlier but released later. Both "Mongk II" and "Cleaning Out The Rooms" appeared on the Valhalla Dancehall album, released a few months after Zeus.
The EP artwork is strongly inspired by a London Underground poster designed by Kathleen Stenning in 1925.
