The appearance of Oedipus before his people is the first, and the leading of him away from his people is the last, of the events in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the play opens with Theban King Oedipus coming out of his palace to hear and to solve the most recent problems of his city and his people. He understands that the concern is the most recent pestilence and that the solution is the identifying and punishing of the guilty in the long unsolved murder of his royal predecessor Laius. The play ends with Oedipus solving the murder and being led away for punishment as his father's killer, his mother's husband, and his children's half-brother.
