I am translating a text from English and i met an expression that i
dont understand
What does "shake the lots" mean?
in the sentence "When we shook the lots, to me fell the hoary sea,
that I should dwell therein for ever" related to the Iliad.
The expression also appears in "Now shake the lots for all, the first
to the last man - w'll see who wins"
