Two symbolism include (seen on the cover):
1) the Legion's eagle- it's a symbol for Zeus and the symbol for the 5th cohort, which Percy is in (very ironic considering that sea and sky should NEVER be together)
2) the ice surrounding Percy- it's showing how Percy is in unfamiliar territory and kinda has to prove himself once again because he can't remember anything (as if 5 years worth of proving himself means nothing *sarcasm directed at Hera*
Hope this helps! I have to do this at my school, so I figured I could answer your question as I tried to find it :)
"The Son of Neptune" follows Percy Jackson as he wakes up with no memory and embarks on a quest to free Death, rescue a missing Roman eagle, and prevent the awakening of the giant Alcyoneus. Joined by new friends Hazel and Frank, Percy faces challenges to regain his memories and his place in both the Greek and Roman worlds.
"Demigod Percy Jackson, still with no memory, and his friends from Camp Jupiter, Hazel and Frank, go on a quest to free Death, but their bigger task is to unite the Greek and Roman camps so the Prophecy of the Seven can be fulfilled.
A teenage boy named Jason wakes up on a school bus not remembering anything from his past, including anything about who he is. He is sitting next to Piper McLean, a girl who appears to be his girlfriend, and a boy, Leo Valdez, who says he is Jason's best friend. The bus is taking them, along with the rest of their grade at their Wilderness School, on a field trip to the Grand Canyon. While they are there, storm spirits attack the three. Their supervising teacher, Coach Gleeson Hedge, reveals himself to be a satyr, and helps fight the storm spirits. Jason surprises himself by using a sword disguised as a coin to fight off the spirits. During the battle Coach Hedge is captured while defending them. At the end of the battle, a flying chariot pulled by two pegasi lands next to them carrying two people; Annabeth and a boy named Butch. Annabeth was disappointed because she had a vision of Hera telling her that she would find a clue to her missing boyfriend, Percy Jackson, at the Grand Canyon. She was told to look for the "boy with the missing shoe"; Jason lost a shoe in the battle, but has no memories of his own identity, let alone Percy Jackson's whereabouts.
Jason, Piper and Leo were told that they were demigods (children of a god and a mortal) and are taken back to Camp Half-Blood where they meet other demigod children like themselves. There, Leo is revealed as a son of Hephaestus, Piper as a daughter of Aphrodite, and Jason as a son of Zeus and the brother of Thalia Grace. He remembers his sister while seeing a picture of her in Cabin One. After scarcely 24 hours of learning about their previously hidden identities, the three receive an urgent quest to rescue Hera, queen of the gods, who was captured by unnamed forces. Before the start of their journey Piper had a dream where one of Gaea's sons, Enceladus, tells Piper that she should bring Jason and Leo to him in return for her father who is being held hostage.
The three friends set off on the back of a giant robotic dragon that Leo had found in the forest and repaired and named Festus (which in Latin means "happy" so they were riding on "Happy the Dragon") on a cross-country quest to save Hera and Piper's father from Enceladus. Their enemies are under orders from the goddess Gaea (of the earth) to reawaken her and overthrow the Olympian gods by pulling up their original roots in Greece. On their way, Jason, Piper and Leo meet Boreas the North Wind in Quebec City, a trio of cyclopes in Detroit, the evil Medea in Chicago, King Midas in a heavily secured white mansion, a pack of werewolves led by Lycaon in a cave, and the very unhelpful Lord of the Winds, Aeolus at his castle 60-feet off ground.
