Wikipedia: Homer hid the love of Achilles and Patroclus

Wikipedia literally five lines ago: The relationship between Patroclus and Achilles is one of the main factors that drive the plot in the Iliad. Homer described the friendship between the two as close and emotionally intense. When Patroclus is killed, Achilles says that his pain is greater than he would have felt from the death of his father or son. Apollo comments that Achilles' feelings for one another are out of the ordinary, even between siblings or parents and children.
