Karl Marx said: "Philosophy does not make a secret of it. The confession of Prometheus: "In a word, I entirely hate all and every god," is its own confession, its own aphorism against all divine and earthly gods who do not acknowledge human self-consciousness as the highest divinity. It allows no rival. But to those sad March hares who rejoice over the seemingly worsened social position of philosophy, it replies again as did Prometheus to the god-serving Hermes: I would never change the state of my calamitous fate for your servitude; hear well, I would never change. Better it is to be the slave of this rock than to serve Father Zeus as a messenger-boy. -from Aeschylus, Prometheus V"
In other words, Prometheus is a hero to Marx because he is a symbol of progressives. He symbolically defied religion and those who would hold power and wealth. He stole it from them and redistributed it among mankind.
