That he should be accompanied in exile with his daughters and that he should be exiled to the mountains outside Thebes are what Oedipus suggests should happen to him in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, disgraced Theban King Oedipus must be punished with execution or exile for killing King Laius, his father and his sovereign. The gods determine the punishment options and then choice of which to apply. Oedipus decides that he wants to put in a bid on how he views punishment options: Let him be exiled with his daughters and let that exile be to Cithaeron, the mountains of his intended death as an infant outside Thebes.
