Awhile ago, there was a demo on a PC game I had. Not sure which game it was. I'm pretty sure it was based on Jason and the Argonauts, mainly due to the fact that took place in Greek mythology (dying would result in going to Olympus and having Zeus get pissed off at you) and because of a Wikipedia and Google search I just did, which turned up these results:

The only way to reach Colchis was to sail through the Symplegades (Clashing Islands), huge rock cliffs that came together and crushed anything that traveled between them. Phineus told Jason to release a dove when they approached these islands, and if the dove made it through, to row with all their might. If the dove was crushed, he was doomed to fail. Jason released the dove as advised, which made it through, losing only a few tail feathers. Seeing this, they rowed hard and made it through with minor damage at the extreme stern of the ship. Ever since the Argo, the first ship to pass through the Symplegades, the cliffs stand still.[/b]

The puzzle presented in the demo required you to throw a hard tack between the Clashing Rocks, causing a bird to fly between them and be crushed. You would then quickly row through to avoid being killed when they smashed together.
Another thing I remember is that there was some sort of web showing all of the puzzles, one of which I remember being a giant thing. Probably a cyclops.
Anyone know what this is? Thank you.
