Who had the more accurate Genealogy and mythology of the gods?

Well Hesiod, obviously.

Homer adds the drama stuff.

Hesiod wrote that Eros (Cupid) was one on the primordial deities (the first ones, like Gaia and Uranus).

Yet the myth that Eros was the son of Aphrodite has since been the only version really told anymore.

They don't believe in the myths except in the sense of Aesop's fables, or, at the most, allegories, even if they believe in the gods as real beings.
