The Romans were a very family/ancestor conscious society, and Octavian, although from an aristocratic family and having an illustrious father, was not a member of the top patrician group of his day. Antony, in one of his speeches, claimed that Octavian owed everything to a name, meaning Caesar's name. In another instance Antony claimed that one of Octavian's ancestors had been a money changer and another a baker, both banned occupations for a patrician. The biggest insult to Octavian's family was Antony's callous treatment of Octavia, his wife and Octavian's sister.

Octavia.
Hollywood and William Shakespeare would have you believe that they were tragic lovers but the reality of their relationship was mainly political. Cleopatra was desperate to keep her dynasty alive and her kingdom independent. Antony was desperate for money to fund his eastern campaigns and by military victories, regain his status in Rome which had been undermined by Octavian. The two formed an alliance in which Cleopatra was given territories and honors and Antony was given the funding for his armies. Cleopatra used every means at her disposal, including sex, to hold Antony to their agreement and prevent him from returning to Rome.

Octavian became jelouse of Antony and killed him. He said two Octavians were too many.
No, it's the other way around. Octavian whipped Antony in the battle of Actium. Or perhaps it would be better so say that Marcus Agrippa whipped Antony in the Battle of Actium, as he was Octavians general and military strategist.
There was no such thing as the Octavians.
its something about honey and bees and more of bees
Octavia.
Augustus
When you insult one of my family, you risk the anger of all of us.
Octavian took power from Marc Antony because Antony divorced Octovia for Cleopatra and Octavian saw it as an insult. So Octavian set war on Antony but he escaped back to Egypt with Cleopatra. There the two committed suicide so they wouldn't be taken as prisoner by Octavian. Octavian then became Rome's sole rule.

Octavian had both political and personal reasons to defeat Cleopatra. As far as the political reasons, Cleopatra was the enemy; Rome had declared war against her and put him at the head of the Roman army, so she had to be defeated. On personal issues, Octavian's sister had been married to Antony. Cleopatra seduced Antony away from his sister and their children. The insult to the family honor had to be avenged.
Originally, Octavian simply came to Rome to collect his inheritance. Marc Antony, however, denied him not only his inheritance from Caesar but even denied him recognition. Octavian, put up with the insult, and several others until he had gained enough power and prestige to confront Antony.
