Answer
Shape shifting was used by the ancient Greek gods in order to visit mortals without being recognised. Athena was particularly adept at shape shifting and could make herself appear in the guise of any person, or even a bird or animal, in order to confuse her opponents or otherwise achieve her objectives.
