[Avodah] What is to be considered more important

[Prof. Levine]

What is to be considered more important regarding Chanukah - the 
small flask with only enough oil to burn for none day that burned for 
8 days or the military victories of the Hashomayim?

Since the military victories are mentioned in Al Hanissim and there 
is no mention of the oil,  it seems that the military victories were 
considered more important.
