This chapter tries out a different model: the "Heroic Age" of Homeric Greece, when patriclan loyalty, marital alliance, and martial values combined to produce a society and an ethos like that described for the Nuosu in recent centuries. Whether the Heroic Age is the right model or not, this demonstrates the loosening of the hegemony of the Morgan-Engels model in China, as well as the increasing ability of people writing in the Chinese national discourse to draw on models and ideas from cosmopolitan scholarship.
