Because Prometheus the titan gave the gift of fire to humankind so that they can start their civilization, live in cities and build empires. He is the symbol of intellect which pierces through the darkest night and brings prosperity to humanity instead of chaos. Nuclear power was considered to be as important to humanity as fire; for us, technological development is the new "Prometheus" which provides us with the "gift" of nuclear fusion. Ironic, considering that Prometheus was caught and tortured by the gods - and nuclear fusion destroyed everything around Chernobyl in a nuclear Holocaust.
