A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Perilla
PERILLA.
A daughter of the poet Ovid, and of his third wife, was very fond of poetry and literature, and devoted to her father. She accompanied him in his banishment, and is supposed to have survived him. She lived in the first century after Christ. It is the best example left by Ovid, that he encouraged his daughter in her literary tastes; and well did she repay his care in the cultivation of her mind, by her devoted attachment to him in his misfortunes.
