Detailed explanation-1: -In Dante’s vision, Minos is appointed the task of listening to the sins of souls, who reveal everything to the demon. Upon learning their sins, Minos indicates to them their destination in hell by wrapping his serpent tail around his body as many times as the appropriate circle.
Detailed explanation-2: -He sits at the entrance to the second circle in the Inferno, which is the beginning of Hell proper. There, he judges the sins of each soul and assigns it to its appropriate punishment by indicating the circle to which it must descend. He does this by circling his tail around his body the appropriate number of times.
Detailed explanation-3: -Minos judges each soul entering hell and determines which circle they are destined for, curling his tail around his body a number of times corresponding to the circle they are to be punished in.
Detailed explanation-4: -Dante witnesses Minos, a great beast, examining each soul as it stands for judgment. Minos hears the souls confess their sins, and then wraps his tail around himself to determine the number of the circle where the sinner belongs.
