http://talefoundry.tumblr.com distinguishes between two different concepts of narrativity. They’re not really genres, though I guess you could call them meta-genres. In essence, they’re two different ways in which stories grow. These two concepts are Tale, and Myth.
Myth is defined as a story that originates from or changes through mimetic mutation.
