The answer to 30D seems to be the name of a Delphic Muse for the lowest string of a lyre. Can someone explain how the answer fits the clue?
Clue:
One's highly strung, quite energized in part (4). NE?E
Anagram of te-en.

NETE is the lowest string of a lyre providing the highest sound.
here is what Google provides
The strings of an eight-stringed lyre were named hypate, the ‘highest’ string (probably as the lyre was usually held), which was the longest and gave the lowest sound; parhypate, the next string to hypate; lichanos, the forefinger-string; mese, the middle string; paramese, the next string to mese; trite, the third string (from the bottom); paranete, the next string to nete; and nete, the ‘last’ or ‘lowest’ string, which was the shortest and gave the highest sound.
