Poseidon was a son of Cronos, who was Oceanus' brother. Circe, according to some accounts was one of the Oceanids, one of Oceanus's daughters. This makes Poseidon and Circe cousins and both direct descendants of the titans. In Homer's story of The Odyssey, Circe aided Odysseus on his epic journey to return home to Ithaca while Poseidon opposed his return out of revenge for Odysseus having killed his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus. In this indirect way, Circe opposes Poseidon, but in the story, there is no mention of their direct enmity. I think if Poseidon found out Circe had helped Odysseus, Poseidon would have been extremely annoyed with her and perhaps would have even sent earthquakes and storms to her island.
