No, it's not, true. But it is said that Gods are in disarray, that they have headaches, that they are fighting with themselves and that Zeus closed Olympus for that reason. Not in a single sentence, but throughout the first 3 books. Than we find out that Athena's children are the cause of the hatred between 2 camps, and that until the injustice that Romans did to her is fixed, there will be no peace between camps. And my free guess is that that curse works on Gods as well. They wont have peace with their own perconalities until Athena is restored to her rightfull place. Thus, i think the statue will work in the way I described in previous post.
