That it is a question and that it shows the concern of Oedipus for his people is the significance of the first line in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Oedipus questions why Thebans gather as lowly people waiting to submit a plea for help to a cold, distant authority. He offers himself as concerned as a father over his children. Ironically, Oedipus asks the first of a series of questions but never thinks of asking himself questions about the misconceptions and mysteries in his own life. Just as ironically, Oedipus addresses his people as his children, which in a sense they really are since he and they are albeit unknowingly blood relatives instead of a Corinthian born King ruling over a Theban born people.
