Holy Books

In the Iliad, Zeus uses messengers to pass messages to the other gods, what birds do are seen as signs. The messengers will travel like the wind for example. Zeus is clearly limited as he does not go against the god of night.
Is the concept of Allah giving a message to Mo via a book like Zeus upgrading his message system to an iphone? And the concept of god upgraded to an almighty one that you must submit to? The Iliad has common comments about men questioning Zeus and the other gods are continually fighting him.
Isn't it a bit pathetic to use the latest technology of the time? Shouldn't god have written it directly in our hearts?
And was the koran originally in rolls, codices or books?
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
