Abstract

Background: Charles Foix (1882–1927) may be mostly remembered today due to his contributions to vascular neurology and the syndromes that bear his name, such as the Foix-Alajouanine syndrome. However, he also developed a literary career and composed poetry and a vast collection of plays, often dealing with biblical themes or figures from Greek mythology. Summary: His poetry was often inspired by his own experiences during the First World War, in which he was assigned to serve as a medical officer in Greece, becoming enamored with his surroundings and the classical lore. Key Messages: The authors explore Foix's poetry and drama and their relationship to his overall work as a neurologist, including his wartime experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
