That it is up to the gods is the way in which Creon responds to Oedipus' request to be allowed to bring his children with him into exile in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus does not want to be punished with execution instead of exile. He does not want to be sent into exile alone. He dares to ask Creon, his brother-in-law and royal successor, for what he wants. He gets no answer since Creon follows proper procedure and therefore awaits divine word on what to do.
