The original sirens were not ocean deities but lived in a flowery meadow on the island of Anthemusa. There father was Achelous a river God descended from Oceanus and Tethys who are Titans that predate Poseidon.
Only after the fall of the Roman Empire do the sirens become associated with mermaids and manatees.
Some may view Odysseus as selfish when he listens to the sirens because he prioritizes his own desires for knowledge and adventure over the safety and well-being of his crew. By choosing to hear the sirens' song, he puts his men in danger of succumbing to the lure of the sirens' voices.
The Sirens pose a threat because once you get in hearing range, they sing songs, which varies from person to person, and those songs lure that person closer and closer to the island that they are on, until they are close enough for the sirens to kill. The only way of blocking out their songs is by plugging wax into your ears.
Odysseus and his men needed to protect themselves from the call of the Sirens because it irresistibly attracted nearby sailors. The lure of their voices would cause sailors to shipwreck and eventually die.
Because Odysseus has to complete what Circe's has told him to do. It was a test to see is Odysseus had the courage and strength to listen to the Sirens. This would strengthen or weaken his leadership skills to the reader. And of course it strengthened his leadership skills.
Poseidon is the father of Polyphemus, the Cyclops encountered by Odysseus in Homer's epic poem, the Odyssey. Poseidon plays a role in Polyphemus' story when Odysseus blinds him, resulting in Poseidon's anger towards Odysseus for causing harm to his son.
