That they gather outside his palace and that he keeps current of their situation are reasons why Oedipus appears before his people in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, the priest of Zeus and the Theban suppliants gather outside the main entrance to the Theban royal palace. They have set up altars outside the doors. Theban King Oedipus keeps close tabs on his beloved people. He knows that his people are outside because of some concern upon which they seek his help.
