Origin:

This expression was firstly used in the Iliad. In it, Homer describes how many warriors who were defeated fell to the earth as a heavy sack. They hit their faces on the ground. Consequently, they bit the dust. When the bodies were taken away to bury, their faces had dust in their mouths. Nowadays, a person bites the dust not because he/she has died  but as a signal of being defeated.
