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.
In 'Lord of the Flies', the flies serve as a symbol of decay, death, and the inherent savagery within the boys. They are attracted to the rotting pig's head left as an offering to the "beast" and represent the moral degradation of the boys as they descend into barbarism. The constant presence of flies highlights the loss of civilization and the growing chaos on the island.
