Mary Shelley used "the modern Prometheus" as a subtitle for her novel "Frankenstein" to draw a parallel between the Greek myth of Prometheus and her story. In Greek mythology, Prometheus created humans out of clay and stole fire from the gods to give to mankind, leading to his punishment. Similarly, Victor Frankenstein creates life from dead tissue and is punished for his actions. The subtitle emphasizes the themes of creation, ambition, and the consequences of playing god that are central to the novel.
In Greek mythology, Prometheus was a Titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mankind. The subtitle "Modern Prometheus" refers to Frankenstein's quest for the knowledge to give life (analogous to the "fire", which was the exclusive province of the gods).
