According to myth, Prometheus stole the secret of fire from the gods and gave it to humans, for which he is punished eternally.

Frankenstein "stole" the secret of making life itself, for which he was punished the rest of his life.

The idea is that some things are (supposedly) not to be known, and that learning them will lead to horrible punishment.
