I didn't get this on the first reading either but I did on the second round through! At first, I thought what the oracle was trying to tell him was that the gods were not going to speak to him for some reason or other. But no, they want an Attolis. Once I realised what was going on,it was really one of those 'ouch, poor Gen' moments. Of course, Costis not having a clue what was going on didn't help either.
