fates

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'three goddesses' is the definition.
'fates' can be an answer for 'goddesses' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'three' bit.

'lay out a feast' is the wordplay.
'lay out' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'laid out' mean this).
'feast' anagrammed gives 'FATES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fates that I've seen before include "Three Greek goddesses of destiny" , "Mythological goddesses controlling destinies" , "Straighten out" , "classical goddesses" , "Goddesses governing human lives" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
