I think it might be worth changing the language of Poseidon being Medusa's consort. Consort implies a somewhat equal relationship, commonly through marriage, although not always (see [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consort Merriam-Webster's definition]). I think a different term would be useful here, since "equal" is not a common interpretation of their relationship/dynamic.

:{{ping|Mirandabilt}} Yes, "consort" generally refers to a married partner. It's not quite the right term for Poseidon and Medusa, so I've removed that field from the infobox. – [[User:Michael Aurel|Michael Aurel]] ([[User talk:Michael Aurel|talk]]) 22:54, 23 April 2026 (UTC) |
