A thousand times your last point. A classical education has long preceded the decriminalisation of homosexuality in many countries. For generations of closeted guys, these guys were one of the few pairings accessible.

THIS.
I'm a lesbian, so my experience is very different from the ones of closeted gay men. But for me Achille/Patroclus was very important to frame my sexuality as something "normal" and even honored in the past when I had no access to other queer media. I come from a very homophobic country so it was a pretty big deal at the time.
Then I got the internet and discovered fanfiction and other queer media that never aired in my country. But before that? It was either Achille/Patroclus, Xena/Gabrielle (that wasn't even canonical and heavily censored in my country) or canonical evil queer characters in horror movies.
