  Off the top of my head, there aren't a lot of greekoroman gods that  
bartered with mortals. They more sort of demanded and cursed. That  
said, the two that come to mind are Eris and Hades, the first being a  
sower of discord and the latter being lord of the dead. Neither are  
evil, at least not any more than the other gods of that time, but  
could easily be associated with this kind of bargain.
