"Technically", no. "Fanfiction" derives from modern intellectual property law, being unlicensed derivative work of an owned property.
But you're right. Homer wrote Achilles/Patroclus slash. Shakespeare wrote Greek myth/English fairylore crossovers.

There doesn't have to be copyright law involved for something to be fanfiction. If you're writing something based on someone else's work it's fanfiction (or if you want to limit it a bit more doing so without their permission maybe)
There have been several academic articles talking about how fanfiction is merely the modern term for a kind of audience interactivity and storytelling that has been around forever. It may not be your personal definition, but that doesn't stop it being a perfectly valid one.

no one owns the copyright to Holmes
Reportedly the reason Star Trek: The Next Generation went four seasons between the episodes Elementary, My Dear Data and its followup Ship in a Bottle is that the Doyle family does still have prerogatives on the characters and negotiations were required before they could be used a second time.
Yes, it's true that the usage of the word "fanfiction" is evolving and broadening. Still the word originally came into being to mean soemthing that we'd never needed a word for before, i.e. "unlicensed derivative work of an owned property". Or it'd just have been called "pastiche" or "sequel" or by any of a number of then-existing words.
