In Book XIII of The Odyssey, Athena admits that she and Odysseus are two of a kind. She favors Odysseus because, like her, he possesses an innate cunningness and mastery:

`Two of a kind, we are,
contrivers, both. Of all men now alive
you are the best in plots and story telling.
My own fame is for wisdom among the gods--
deceptions, too.'
(Homer 367)

It is this common gift of trickery that serves as a link that connects the mortal to the immortal, and that repeatedly works to good advantage in the endeavors of both characters.
