Hmm this is very interesting, Nemesis is in fact the goddess that punishes hubris and we all know that Annabeth's pride will be a major key in the MoA plot. I just don't understand how one single person can put an end to decades of bitterness and fighting though. I'm starting to get annoyed because it feels like RR is playing favorites. Percy brings back the Eagle for the Romans and restores the pride of the fifth cohort (yet Frank and Hazel get no credit for the fact that they took out a giant and freed Thanatos) and now Annabeth will put an end to the dispute all by herself. Can we have the Romans do something really important for once cause Jason doesn't feel at all like the leader of the quest, he's still in Percy's shadow.
