Book title problem

 One of my novels is titled 'Greeks bearing gifts' This is a quotation: the 'gift' in question was the Trojan horse, and brought disaster to the Trojans who accepted it.

Amazon has now told me that the title is not acceptable to them. It contains the word 'gifts'. Apparently, Amazon is worried that potential buyers will assume that I am trying to give the book away free, which is against Amazon's rules. They seem unaware that this quotation is world-famous. 

I have removed the book's subtitle. Hopefully, this will appease Amazon's automated editors.
