I believe Nietzsche himself also referred to the soul in the way you described. At least that's what I remember reading in one of his works.
Nietzsche was extremely knowledgable about Greek philosophy. He was a gifted philologist, offered a professorship at Basel at age 24. Which means he had read all the important Greek literature in the original language. As well as the classics of Latin and Hebrew, in those languages.
Unlike so many people today, he knew and respected ancient thought, even when he felt he had to argue against it. So it's no surprise that he would use the standard classical definition of soul.
