There are far more than two genres, or categories, of literature. Perhaps you are thinking of the two major classifications of literature, fiction and non-fiction.
The genre of "The Two Frogs" is a folktale or a fable. It is a short story with a moral lesson often involving animals as characters.
The two major divisions are prose and poetry.
The prefix sub- means "under," or "lesser." A sub-genre is a genre within a genre, that is a specific category within a more general one. For example, within the genre of Juvenalia, or "children's literature," a sub-genre might be books specifically intended for pre-teen boys.

Another genre (distinctive type of writing in literature) is the short story.
The battle of Dorking is credited with starting the genre of invasion literature. This genre typically explores themes of national defense, warfare, and the impact of foreign invasion on society.
