Six épigraphes antiques, L. 131, CD. 139, is a suite of six pieces by
Claude Debussy, originally written for piano duo. Completed in July 1914, the suite was Debussy's only completed composition that year. In 1915 Debussy transcribed them for piano solo. Much of the music (over 100 measures) is taken from the musical accompaniments he had written in 1901 for his friend Pierre Louÿs's erotic lesbian poems Les Chansons de Bilitis. In 1939 the Swiss conductor Ernest Ansermet created an orchestration of the suite.
