Detailed explanation-1: -Dante explains that Minos judges where all sinners go by twining his tail into coils. The number of coils determines which circle the sinner goes into. The very ugly Minos pauses his perpetual dissing of sinners long enough to warn Dante and Virgil to be careful whom they trust.
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: -He has a long tail, and after he hears a sinner confess his or her sins he wraps his tail around himself to indicate in which Circle of Hell the sinner will be punished. If Minos wraps his tail around himself three times, the sinner will eternally be punished in Circle 3.
Detailed explanation-4: -King Minos was the Judge of the Damned, who resided in the circle of Limbo. He was the second boss encountered in Dante’s Inferno. He is the judge of every soul damned to Hell, determining which of the Nine Circles that particular soul was condemned to for eternity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Souls who were violent toward others are condemned to be submerged in boiling blood. People who hurt themselves are pecked at by bird-women called harpies or attacked by dogs. Those who committed violent acts against God writhe in burning sand and burning rain.
