	Antique Epigraphs ''Antique Epigraphs'' is a ballet made on New York City Ballet by ballet master Jerome Robbins to an orchestrated version of Debussy's '' Six épigraphes antiques'', L131, for piano, four hands, from 1914: “Pour invoquer Pan, dieu du vent d'été” “Pour un tombeau sans nom” “Pour que la nuit soit propice” “Pour la danseuse aux crotales” “Pour l'égyptienne” “Pour remercier la pluie au matin” and his ''Syrinx'', L129, a melody for unaccompanied flute from 1913.

The premiere took place on February 2, 1984, at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, with costumes by Florence Klotz and lighting by Jennifer Tipton.
