You shouldnt do that early in the game. Good players focus on disrupting the opponents economy in the first age, dont help them out by taking a villager (especially atlantean) off a resource.

If FEAR of a GP or Timeshift is enough to make you lose some power of your econ, that GP or ability is increased in power

Mind you, unless you have 2 Priests, you're losing a portion of your econ early. He doesn't. He can use his early advancement merely to make hte army he needs, and WHEN THEY ATTACK, deconstruct any important buildings (like Barracks and Towers). Especially if it's Barracks, I think you'd be even more screwed.

If i have only villager around,I will use villager to hit him once,and like after 10 or 15 seconds let the villager go there hit him again.this way he has no LOS(once oracle was hit,he lost his LOS).Dont use villager chase oracle,especially when you are atlanteans yourself.
If have priest,greek scout,ulfsark,you can use those units to chase the oracle.
As Atlanteans,I believe one good way to convert one oracle into hero to drop the opp's oracle's HP and LOS.

I usually cast spy on them if i am loki, and i prefer to kill them with a military unit, a priest, or an animal if i am set.

The thing is your 6 villagers may not be enough to kill an oracle before oracle runs away.Then you wasted 6 vilalgers's time.
In archiac age,if you are against a kronos rush,the only place you can get 6 villagers together is food resource.With that waste of foodies,you will miss the classic time.
