That he must wait for the decision of the gods is what Creon says when Oedipus asks to take his children with him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus favors as his punishment exile over execution and company as opposed to loneliness in exile. He makes an effort to force the issue with his brother-in-law and royal successor Creon. But Creon prefers to follow proper procedure and will not be budged in isolating and placing Oedipus under house arrest awaiting divine expression of the particular punishment option.
