Tolkien was inspired by many more sources than just this. I researched the man for a project and have too many books about him now, including the most recent Times magazine issue dedicated entirely to him, Middle Earth, The Hobbit, and LoTR.

If you're not ready to leave this world of cursed rings, epic adventures, and the fight of hope against doom, we highly recommend J. R. R. Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. You can download a free audiobook version here: audible. com/ted-ed

And some people say that Scandinavians were only brutes who had no moral standards, but this story, one of many of this kind, clearly is an allegory of human greed and how it corrupts any soul. Thank you for retelling it.

It feels as if the Gollum was the worst character in the movie yet he is the most miserable character, engulfed by the only thing that brings him joy (the ring) and he would do anything to get it back.

At first Andvari wanted to see the nix s treasure, but when the nix laughed at his awkward appearance, Andvari became furious
In their defense, he decided to be a fish with eyebrows instead of eyes

imagine being born somewhere around 900 AD, in modern day Scandinavia, your mother telling stories such as these about their Gods before going to sleep next to a fire dimly lighting the hut.

There's also the short myth of The Ring of Gyges, told in Book 2 of Plato's Republic. It turns the wearer invisible at will, and Gyges used it to kill a king and marry his wife.

Imagine being a Shape shifting dwarf but not having a tiny crown made for you so people can know who you are. They can make a ribbon bind a giant wolf but not a crown that fits all

But if you look at another story it strikes resemblance too and that is Prophet Sulaiman. He had a ring too with powers and he had control of the Jins(Spirits/Ghosts/supernatural)
