Andvari

The cunning god caught Andvari, the dwarf, and compelled him to surrender all the gold he had accumulated.

Before the Æsir departed, Loki repeated the curse which Andvari had laid upon the ring.

Andvari I am named, Oin was my father named; many a cataract have I passed.

For a more remote parallel we may compare the story of Loki and Andvari.

Andvari was a Dwarf who, in the early days, had gained for himself the greatest treasure in the nine worlds.
