    () From games of chance in which the outcome is determined by the throwing of dice or a single die. Popularized by its use by Julius Caesar|Julius Caesar]] when he crossed the Rubicon to begin a civil war in the Roman Empire, indicating the commission of an irreversible act, from whence also cross the Rubicon. The form “the die is cast” is from the Latin iactā alea est, a mistranslation by Suetonius|Suetonius]], 121 CE,Vita Divi Iuli (The Life of the deified Julius), 121 CE, (Caesar: ... "Iacta alea est", inquit. – Caesar said ... "the die is cast".) of the Ancient Greek phrase of Menander|Menander]] «Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος» (anerriphtho kybos), which Caeser quoted in Greek (not Latin). The Greek translates rather as “let the die be cast!”, or “Let the game be ventured!”, which would instead translate in Latin as iacta alea esto. Historical details “The die is cast” is a literal translation of Latin iactā alea est, as quoted in Suetonius|Suetonius]], Vita Divi Iuli (The Life of the deified Julius), 121 CE, : : Caesar: ... "Iacta alea est", inquit. :: Caesar said ... "the die is cast". Originally stated by Caesar in Ancient Greek as «Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος» (anerriphtho kybos), as reported by Plutarch|Plutarch]]:Plutarch|Plutarch]], Life of Pompey, 60.2.9. See also Plutarch's Life of Caesar 32.8.4 and Sayings of Kings & Emperors 206c. : Ἑλληνιστὶ πρὸς τοὺς παρόντας ἐκβοήσας, «Ἀνερρίφθω κύβος», διεβίβαζε τὸν στρατόν. :: He declared in Greek with loud voice to those who were present ‘Let the die be cast’ and led the army across. Caesar in turn was quoting Menander|Menander]], his favorite Greek comic dramatist, specifically “Ἀρρηφόρῳ” (Arrephoria, or “The Flute-Girl”), as quoted in Deipnosophistae|Deipnosophistae]], , paragraph 8. Suetonius’s much-quoted and much-translated translation of the Greek (as reported by Plutarch) is apparently incorrect – according to Lewis and Short, Lewis and Short at the Perseus Project. See bottom of section I., the phrase used was a future active imperative, “let the die be cast!”, or “Let the game be ventured!”, which would instead translate in Latin as iacta alea esto.
