Frankenstein: Penetrating the Secrets of Nature - Preface , 1611-1612. Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640). Photographic reproduction of an oil painting. Courtesy of The Granger Collection, New York. Mary Shelley subtitled her novel "The Modern Prometheus." According to the Greeks, Prometheus stole fire from the gods. As punishment, he was chained to a rock, where an eagle each day plucked at his liver. Haughty Prometheus sought fire for human betterment — to make tools and warm hearts. Similarly, Mary Shelley's arrogant scientist, Victor Frankenstein, claimed "benevolent intentions, and thirsted for the moment when I should put them in practice."
