Loki

Loki is a god in Norse mythology. Loki engineers the death of the beloved god Baldr and is bound by the gods and suffers from serpent venom. His wife Sigyn collects the venom in a bowl. However, she must empty the bowl when it is full and the venom that drips in the meantime causes Loki to writhe in pain, thereby causing earthquakes.
