Then use fontspec's interface!


If you'd change your example to

	\documentclass[10pt]{book}
	\thispagestyle{empty}
	\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
	\setmainfont{GFS Didot}
	\usepackage{polyglossia}
	\setdefaultlanguage{english}
	\setotherlanguage[variant=ancient]{greek}
	\usepackage{soul}
	\begin{document}
	This is only a \so{test}.
	
	“Mind” is the English translation for \foreignlanguage{greek} 
{\so{νοῦς}}.
	
	“Mind” is the English translation for \so{νοῦς}.
	
	\end{document}

you might see in the LOG file twice:

	Missing character: There is no ν in font ectt1000!
	Missing character: There is no ο in font ectt1000!
	Missing character: There is no ῦ in font ectt1000!
	Missing character: There is no ς in font ectt1000!

To me it's clear from this that soul is not meant to be used with XeTeX.
