Omega has no mythology. its a greek letter, however it is the LAST letter in the greek alphabet, hence, it may symbolize an end.
Omega is often used, especially in mathematics, to define the final variable, or final number in a set. Apparently theres some christian lore with this, probably something made up by priests to get more greeks to convert (as they did with greek and roman holidays... look it up if you dont belive me oh ye who take religion way to seriously) Alpha and omega: the beginning and the end. This is actually taken from a philosophical statement written on some wall.
Other uses that may be important are the astronomical ones. it represents the density of the universe, and in lower case, the ranking of a stars brightness.
Here however, it probably symbolizes the ending. Happy hunting! :-P
Oh and for vishnu? Hes part of a trinity. The trimurti.
Brahma:
element:earth (remember truth saying he would return from darkness to earth?)
Associations: Creation, origin of life.
Vishnu
element: water
Associations: eternal, preservation, sustainer of life (Avatar= eternal?)
Shiva
Element: fire
associations: Ending, death, consuming of life, darkness
I think you get the picture.
Also the trinity has to stop being considered as the christian one. There is a much larger trinity, like the trimurty, Life, Death, Rebirth. This is actually in the matrix. The first movie is rebirth, the second movie life, the third death. It loops too, in the final scene of the first movie.
