The lion’s share is the largest part, the greatest and most desirable portion of something. The lion’s share is a common English phrase by the year 1701. The phrase comes from a fable written by Aesop, in which the lion goes hunting with three other beasts. When it’s time to divide the spoils, the lion takes one portion for his title as king of the forest, another portion because he is a partner, another portion because he is the strongest and the last portion because an accident will befall anyone who lays a paw upon it. The moral of this Aesop tale is “One may share the labors of the great, but you will not share the spoils.” Today the lion’s share does not mean the entire amount as it does in the fable, the lion’s share refers to the biggest and best portion.share
No it means almost the whole thing. It has never been used to talk about the whole thing. Even if the lion effectively denies others a share in the fable, it has always been used to mean an unequal share or unequal partnership. And to describe the impossibility of taking a larger share than the dominant partner allows you.
