Re: Bad Negs Again
Yes, "Seven Men Against Thebes" would be acceptable in ACF since that's a perfectly acceptable way to translate the Greek title.

Re: Bad Negs Again
From practice
Answer: Mahabharata
Me: The Twilight Zone
The lead-in (of which I flaked out on the pronoun) was talking about a guy who is rewarded for refusing to enter heaven without his dog. This is the exact plot of the Twilight Zone episode "The Hunt." Wikipedia claims the episode "resembles" the Mahabharata, so I feel somewhat vindicated.
