Zhenya was really enjoying being 'guided' by Apollo. He was nice, and made them all feel like equals. Not that there was anything wrong with Professors, but most of the Professors here related to them on some level. Just like Apollo was doing. Cool name, too.

What mythology did she know of? She knew bits and pieces... so she raised her hand. "Si... Apollo, I know of Medusa. She was a monster, apparently a really ugly woman and she had venomous snakes coming out of her head as hair.

Stone and a mixture of petrification when looking at the basilisk's reflection, or dying if looking into its eyes.
