From the very patchy evidence, it seems that "Eumelos"' account of the Titanomachy differed from the surviving account of Hesiod's Theogony at salient points. The 8th century BC date for the poem is not possible; West ascribes a late seventh-century date as the earliest.
Although the available information is sparse, it becomes clear that "Eumelos"' account of the Titanomachy diverged from Hesiod's surviving narrative at pivotal moments. The traditional 8th century BC dating for the poem is now considered too early; West instead suggests a late seventh-century origin.
