Abstract
There's a Greek syndrome in Le Corbusier's life and work, combining reading, travel, epistolary and literary exchanges. It manifested itself on his initial trip to Athens in 1911, through notes, drawings and photographs that would later feed into works such as Vers une architecture. Then in the years 1930, during the IVth Congrès international d'architecture moderne, when the Parisian architect discovered the villages of the Cyclades and reformulated his reflections on the Acropolis and the Parthenon, which, he said at the time, " made him a rebel " and which he thus opposed to academic thought. Finally, when Le Corbusier returned to his mature reading of the great myths, a new perception of Homer permeated his work as an artist.
