I'm not sure if it fits the not "getting" it you asked, but the ENTIRE second book I spent waiting for some god to swoop down and give Eugenides his hand back. The part with the unnamed goddess was particularly killer (goodbye all hopes!).
The re-reading went better. KoA remains my favorite of the three and I wouldn't want anything different.
