Abstract

There are several mythological myths in different cultures of the world. The Dragon is one of those myths whose representation arises in remote times. And, it is the image taken by China as a representation of its power, art and cultura. It was adored for thousands of years. The Dragon also arose in the Western cultura. We can see differences between these two cultures. In Western cultura, it has a neutral, meaning, and in other times, it has a positive meaning, but sometimes it has a negative characteristic. On the other hand, in Orient, by the influence of Taoism, it has ambivalent aspects. The article will talk about the history and the origin of de Dragon in the West and the Orient; and, in addition, the reflection of this mythological myth in the literary folklore.
