The flies itself do not represent much but that off rotting or decay (from the pig's head). But the flies in the phrase "lord of the flies" do have a meaning. "Lord of the Flies" is translated in the Bible as Beelzebub, or the devil. Also, Simon was not evil, he was the "Jesus" figure in the story.
The Lord Of the Flies itself to Simon
Simon is the boy in Lord of the Flies who has the spiritual encounter with the "Lord of the Flies". Simon has an epileptic fugue and holds an imaginary internalised converstion with the Lord of the Flies, which is simply a projection of the evil within himself.
Saying that the Lord of the Flies speakes in 'the voice of a schoolmaster' shows that Simon is still thinking of home, but more importantky that the boys are following the Lord of the Flies rules on the island in the same way they would the schoolmaster back in England.
