1. I agree with what's been said, plus Gen and Eddis pushed Sophos into accepting their help to gain control over Sounis (that sounds so cold--merge the powers of the three countries?) although Sophos probably could have gained control of Sounis through a bloody civil war, instead. If he'd had enough faith in himself to be a strong leader along with the help of his father's army.
2. I agree with msmcknittington--I thought Sophos assumed that the reinforcements would be there because the gods would make it so, through Eugenides. Gen doesn't like this because of the uncomfortable favorite-of-the-gods thing, plus what a huge burden on Gen--to live up to Sophos' faith in him. I've said this very poorly, but I hope my idea has come across.
