Mary Shelley's Frankenstein originally had the subtitle: The Modern Prometheus. Prometheus was, according to Greek mythology, the titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to all of mankind. Mary Shelley, who most likely had read Greek Mythology and knew all about the recent advancement of electricity, used these two elements in her novel. Shelley replaced fire with electricity, and put her own spin on the Modern Prometheus. Prometheus is also a well known myth in the Latin language. In the Latin version the god, Prometheus creates the human form out of water and clay. This is a very applicable theme that goes with the Novel because Victor Frankenstein creates the monster in a similar way. Promethus parallels Victor almost exactly.
