Could be, though I doubt Rick really planned it out that way. He doesn't really sweat the little details. In SoN I thought it was Hera making sure Percy didn't connect to his past too soon. During HoH I thought the iris message problems had to do the the split personalities of the gods. Can gaea affect rainbows? They are of water and light, not exactly her realm.
