It is at the point of house arrest that Oedipus is left in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, it is up to the gods to identify the range of punishment options. It then is up to them to go through a process of elimination and select which punishment to carry out. Theban King Oedipus is taken away from his people and into the palace to await divine decision as to whether he will die or stumble through miserable exile.
