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.
