I do think that the statue was supposed to point out the Greek connection. It's the kind of things that sailors (Odysseus, Jason and The Argonauts ) could see during their nautical journey in Mythology, when statues or monsters were there to keep the edges of the known universe on maps...It's a bit like Charybdis and Scylla in The Odysseus, or The Pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar)
The 4 toes thing seems to say that it is not a human foot, so it fits in the idea of gods, half-gods or monsters...
Oh I'm thinking of something! Pillars of Hercules were considered the western end of the world and also are mentioned at some places as portals, or gates to different locations on Earth. Beyond them there was only Chaos (the end of the world being also the birth of it). In Homer's book we can see Odysseus who sails west out of the Pillars of Heracles and into the Atlantic Ocean, eventually reaching a place which gives him access to Hades.
Is it a coincidence if we have Brazilian guys looking for a signal in the end? Like in the Butterfly Effect you know...a butterfly in Brazil flaps its wings etc

A system failure is another name for Chaos!
