No. He was concerned that she had 'moved on' from their relationship.

Not likely that the man who had battled with the likes of Hector and Ajax (the greater) would be afraid of a mere woman.

Yes, Odysseus fears Poseidon because the sea god holds a grudge against him for blinding his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. This causes Poseidon to create obstacles and challenges for Odysseus during his journey back home in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey."
